Learning Preference Inventories Ms. Nistler Grade 3

Who prefers…. (Raise your hand) Doing projects about what we are learning? Listening to me teach? Reading the textbook?

What is a learning preference inventory? We just did a small one! A questionnaire or survey to find out what type of learning style a student has. Each person learns in different ways.

Why would I take a learning preference inventory, Ms. Nistler? To become better learners! Once you know, you can change how you study do assignments!
