Learning Styles

• Visual Learners!

• Audio Learners!

• Kinesthetic Learners

Visual Leanersare neat and orderly speak quickly are good long-range planners and organizers are observant of environmental detail are appearance-oriented in both dress and presentation are good spellers and can actually see the words in their minds remember what was seen, rather than heard memorize by visual association usually are not distracted by noise have trouble remembering verbal instructions unless they are written down and often ask people to repeat themselves are strong, fast readers would rather read than be read to need an overall view and purpose and are cautious until mentally clear about an issue or project doodle during phone conversations and staff meetings forget to relay verbal messages to others often answer questions with a simple yes or no would rather do a demonstration than make a speech like art more than music often know what to say but can't think of the right words sometimes tune out when they mean to pay attention

Audio Learnerstalk to themselves while working are easily distracted by noise move their lips and pronounce the words as they read enjoy reading aloud and listening can repeat back and mimic tone pitch and timbre find writing difficult, but are better at telling speak in rhythmic patterns are frequently eloquent speakers like music more than art learn by listening, and remember what was discussed rather than seen are talkative, love discussion, and go into lengthy descriptions have problems with projects that involve visualization, such as cutting pieces that fit together can spell better out loud than in writing

Kinesthetic Learnersspeak slowly respond to physical rewards touch people to get their attention stand close when talking to someone are physically oriented and move a lot have early large-muscle development learn by manipulating and doing memorize by walking and seeing use a finger as a pointer when reading gesture a lot can't sit still for long periods of time can't remember geography unless they've actually been there use action words like plot-oriented books - they reflect action with body movement as they read may have messy handwriting want to act things out like involved games
