Understanding Learning Styles

​types of learning styles​

​

​

​

​

​

​

This learners retain information best when it is presented through sound and speech. They are good listeners and often very social, which means they can sometimes get distracted from the lesson by everything else going on in the classroom.

​​auditory learners

sometimes called tactile learners, learn through experiencing or doing things. They like to get involved by acting out events or using their hands to touch and handle in order to understand concepts.

​​kinesthetic learners

​visual learning is partial to seeing and observing things, including pictures, diagrams, written directions and more. This is also referred to as the “spatial” learning style. Students who learn through sight understand information better when it’s presented in a visual way.

Visual learners

These types of learners are drawn to expression through writing, reading articles or books, writing in diaries, looking up words in the dictionary and searching the internet for just about everything.
