This is interesting. My son doesn't seem to have the all-or-nothing trait, but I think he's a visual-spatial learner. Is it possible to be a V-S learner and not be all or nothing?

Hmmm...Looking closely at the checklist this time, I would say that my son has the majority of those traits, but not all. And the ones he's missing seems to be the biggies.

Is there some other learning style that would tend to produce a kid fabulous at puzzles, mazes, and even reading letters upside-down and backwards?

Kriston - my 6 year old can also read things upside down and backwards too! That must be visual-spatial. Through paper too. It's actually rather annoying sometimes! ;-)

Yeah, I couldn't imagine what other learning trait it could be, kimck. But maybe, as Dottie says, it's just not his dominant one. He's strong in V-S, but he does seem to be a sequential learner. Maybe I'll figure him out a little better this year since we're homeschooling. I'd love to know the best ways to help him learn! Much research to do...
