Learning Style Strategies Continue to work through Learning Style Strategies. By the time you have completed grade 8 you should have worked through the provided lists of learning style strategies for your strengths. Make sure you use a strategy long enough to get good at it. At that point, decide if it helps or not. If it helps keep using it from time to time, if it doesn't eliminate it.
Your goal is to be efficient with your learning by the time you reach high school.
