Lisa Rivero's book that Grinity mentions is the best book I've ever found to help with learning style, homeschooling or not.

But frankly, I'm still not 100% sure what sort of learners my kids are. I'm suspecting that both my boys are more kinesthetic than I once thought, but they both tend to be much more visual than aural learners. That knowledge has affected the way I deal with them beyond school, even in terms of getting them to put on their shoes or clean their rooms. I can say "Put your shoes on!" 100 times, or I can put the shoes where they can see them. Much easier!

BTW, I think figuring this out is significantly complicated by the fact that people are nearly always some combination, not purely one thing or another (barring some disability, of course).

If you find a good resource on this topic, onthegomom, please share! I do think learning styles present a very useful way to approach and motivate kids. Thanks!
