Asalaamu alaikum,
I've never really taken much notice of the "hows" of learning. For a homeschooling parent, it's actually quite important to know how our children learn best. We know it intuitively and also by monitoring, observing and interacting with them every day. Knowing your child's learning style shows you the best way they learn (the best way to teach them) and also immediately picks up on their weaker side so you can concentrate on those areas.
Depending on where you obtain your information, there could be as few as 3 to as many as 7 learning styles. This doesn't really confuse the issue as most children have elements of all learning styles but most of the time one particular mode seems to be more prominent.
A few links I've found quite helpful:
Four learning styles
Know your child's learning needs
What's your child's learning style?
I'll try to organise myself and add some links into my links section soon inshaAllah.
