i have now started to write up on the learning styles of children. things like if they learn by sight, audio, tactile etc. still not sure if it relates to Howard Gardner's work though as i cant find a link to anyone else. my mind is a bit scrabbled though.

thanks

Hi, when assessing children's learning styles in my classroom, I have always found the following books helpful. I hope this is of some use

The thinking child resource book
The thinking child:Brain based learning for the foundation stage

Hope you find what you need
