Learning Style Inventory

This document is an elementary learning style inventory that asks students to check boxes describing how they learn best across three categories: visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic. It then asks the student to identify which category had the most checks, indicating their primary learning style, and explains what each learning style means - for example, that visual learners learn best through pictures and images while tactile/kinesthetic learners learn through physical activities and movement. The purpose is to help elementary students identify their own individual strengths and preferences for taking in and processing new information.
