Ya you're right, I used the wrong terminolgy. What I meant was adjusting the content to subjects that the individual is passionate about (which is actually quite a bit more difficult that breaking it up into 4-5 styles).
Kinda like how when my kids were learning math, there were work books broken up by theme. Learn Grade 1 Math with Star Wars. Learn Grade 1 Math with Pokemon. Learn Grade 1 Math with Super Heroes. That sort of thing, only it could be done on the fly and each kid could can have their own interests woven into the content.
