  1. What are learning styles? • Information enters your brain through three methods: sight, hearing, and touch. The one which you use the most is called your learning style. • Visual Learnerslearn by sight • Auditory Learnerslearn by hearing • Tactile Learners (kinesthetic) learn by touch

  2. Visual Learners • Prefer to see information such as pictures, diagrams, cartoons, or demonstrations • Picture words and concepts that they hear as images • Might get easily distracted during a lecture with no visual aids • Could become overwhelmed with intense visuals accompanied by lecture • Benefit from using charts, maps, notes, and flash cards when studying

  3. Auditory Learners • Prefer to hear information spoken • Can absorb a lecture with little effort • May not need detailed notes to learn • Often avoid eye contact in order to concentrate • May read aloud to themselves • Like background music when they study

  4. Tactile or Kinesthetic Learners • Prefer touch as their primary mode for taking in information • In traditional lecture situations, they should write out important facts • Create study sheets connected to vivid examples • Role-playing might help them learn and remember important ideas

  5. Learning Styles and Teaching • Remember to use a variety of learning modalities when planning lessons. Hear it! See it! Touch it!
