Why Some Children learn faster then others
             Why do some children learn faster than others do? And why do some children completely misunderstand the material being presented to them? Children learn in different ways and there are certain ways of teaching that help them to learn the best. The schools only focus on two of the eight intelligences. These two intelligences are linguistic and logical/mathematical ("Multiple Intelligences" 1). The material needs to be presented in more than one way because each child learns differently. The need to implement all eight teaching/learning styles in greatly needed because each child deserves the chance to grasp the material.

The eight intelligences are: Verbal-Linguistic (word smart), Logical-Mathematical (number smart), Visual-Spatial (picture smart), Bodily-Kinesthetic (body smart), Musical (music smart), Interpersonal (people smart), Intrapersonal (self smart), and Naturalist (nature smart). These eight different "smarts" show and tell how individual children learn, and also how they can express themselves as an individual.
             Being a verbal-linguistic learner means having a very broad vocabulary, and also being very skilled in reading. Gardner's definition of a verbal-linguistic learner is the capacity to use language, your native language, and perhaps other languages, to express what's on the mind and to understand other people. Poets really specialize in linguistic intelligence, but any kind of writer, orator, speaker, lawyer, or a person for whom language in an important stock in trade highlights linguistic intelligence (Chariho 1). Some activities that a verbal-linguistic learner might like to do are playing words games, making poems, having discussions with many other people, d...
