Visual Spatial Learners
Visual Spatial Learners benefit from visual aids when learning new information and for getting their thoughts on paper. Look for resources that utilize flow charts, concept mapping, graphic organizers, and art.
These learners are brilliant with content yet struggle with the mechanics of writing. Remember, best-selling authors have editors! Avoid curriculum that emphasizes spelling, grammar, and capitalization.
They do not learn sequentially, which is why most spelling programs don't work. Create picture cards for each spelling word and use this simple (and FREE) spelling method I've used successfully with my daughter.

Spatial homeschool curriculum.
