VISUAL

• Visual learners are those that learn best through seeing them (Fleming 2011).

• The individual process information in picturesrather than words (Silverman & Freed, 1996).

Angelisa‘s

Strategies for Visual Learners:

• Write things down.• Look at the person who is talking to you. This will

help you to stay focused.• Study independently, rather than in groups.• Make notes in class; recopy to recall information.• Make flash cards for vocabulary words.• Make mind maps, charts, diagram or graphs.

Angelisa‘s

AUDITORY• Auditory learners enjoy talking and listening.• They remember what they hear more clearly

than what they see or feel (Sprenger, 2005).• These learners interpret the essential meaning

of speech by listening to tone of voice, pitch, and speed (Learning Styles, n.d.).

Angelisa‘s

Strategies for Auditory Learners:

• Study with a friend or parent to talk about information.

• Read books, articles, notes, and directions out loud.T

• ape record lectures, rather than taking written notes.

• Do oral reports or turn in tape whenever possible.

Angelisa‘s

KINESTHETIC• Kinesthetic learners use the whole body while

learning, and usually have a high level of gross motor-skill controls.

• Kinesthetic learners also struggle with teaching styles that involve only auditory and visual lessons.

Angelisa‘s

Strategies for Kinesthetic Learners:

• Study important information by placing facts on index cards and reading the information aloud while pacing or walking around.

• Try studying while lying on a bed or the floor, or listening to music.

• Use brightly colored paper under worksheets or study materials to help you focus.

Angelisa‘s

TACTILE• Tactile learners best learn through the sense

of touch. • These learners love to use their hands to learn

new information. • The tactile learner will learn best when using

their hands.

Angelisa‘s

Strategies for Tactile Learners:

• Learn by using their small motor skills.• Handle and experiment with concrete learning

materials.• Produce their own instructional resources.• Create their own learning manipulatives to

master and reinforce new and difficult information.

Angelisa‘s

INDIVIDUAL/SOLITARY• Individual/solitary learners prefer to work

alone and use self-study.• Solitary learners are more private,

introspective and independent.

Angelisa‘s

• Group/Social learners prefer to learn in groups or with other people.

• A social learners typically prefer learning in groups or classes, or they like to spend much one-on-one time with a teacher or an instructor.

GROUP/SOCIAL

Angelisa‘s

ConclusionsEveryone have different learning styles

and each person may have more than 2 learning styles but it is very important for everyone to know their

main/major learning styles so they can study more effectively.
