3. This week:
We are going to be learning about different learning styles! The better we understand how we learn best, the more we can focus on using our inherent skills to our advantage in school!
Knowing your preferred learning style also helps you to know what types of learning you may need to practice and focus on more!

Neil Fleming, an educational theorist, came up with an acronym for the four main types of learning styles:
