Kindle is great for all modalities, if you are familiar with learning styles. For the visual learner, the child who interprets and retains best those things he sees, a reader of any type is a great learning tool. For the auditory learner, what a wonderful opportunity to reinforce learning, by providing access to books and materials in audio form, as the auditory learner best processes information that is heard. For the hands on learner, the interactivity of a Kindle is an outstanding feature. Further, the portability of the Kindle makes it a device that can go outside...your tactile learner can use the Kindle while swinging, sunning on the trampoline, or sitting on the edge of the fort. My tactile learners take to video games quite well, and I find the Kindle a much better investment than a video game system. Further, my children are leaps and bounds beyond me, in terms of ability with small handheld devices.
Establish some guidelines, of course, as an irresponsible child could mean disaster, if you allow him to tote the Kindle about, without limitations. If the Kindle goes out of doors, make sure it does so, with your permission, and awareness.
You may find that the Kindle provides an interesting incentive, for your youngsters. For example, finishing school work early might earn some time reading on the device. It's novel enough, if your children aren't inundated with electronics, that it will be interesting.
If you aren't sure about Kindle, this special offers version of the Kindle is an opportunity to try it out, at a lesser price. Maybe you will want to consider this, down the road, as a Christmas gift or birthday present for your tween, or teen. This is a great way to check it out extensively, and to even let your youngsters give it a whirl.
