This entry is a continuation from our previous entry on the 7 types of intelligences. By now, perhaps you have read that it is more than 7, some said 8, some even said 9, but without these 7, both later do not exist. Hence, today, we will be looking into ways on how to enhance learning for the first type of intelligence, that is linguistic intelligence.

Before I begin, it is good to inform that while teaching according to each type of intelligence help you to enrich your child’s strength at learning, however, it is always alright to integrate with more than 1 type at a time. The shift between one to another is on you and your child’s readiness.

For linguistic intelligence, the very basic to it can be word games. As such, try activities like spelling, word puzzles or even sudoku.

At an intermediate level, you can begin by introducing diary or blog writing to your young ones. From here, not only you can encourage your children to express themselves, but you can also learn to see things from their perspectives.

Children like this usually a very keen to learn from lectures, discussion and group work. They tend to be very articulate and do not have much problem with stage fright.

As for you, choice of learning materials for children with linguistic intelligence can be books, computers or play scripts.

How do you think about this entry on linguistic intelligence? I’m sure this short little sharing has a lot more to be added. Should you have any more better insights, do not hesitate to drop us your ideas in the comment. Your ideas will be much appreciated by both me and other readers, insyaAllah.
