Learning Suggestions for Visual Learners Draw a map of events in history or draw scientific process. Make outlines of everything! Copy what’s on the board. Ask the teacher to diagram. Diagram sentences! Take notes, make lists. Watch videos. Color code words, research notes. Outline reading. Use flashcards. Use highlighters, circle words, underline.

Test Type for Visual Learners: BEST Diagramming, reading maps, essays (if you’ve studied using an outline), showing a process WORST Listen and respond tests

Auditory Learner Characteristics Auditory learners are those who learn best through hearing things. Look over these traits to see if they sound familiar to you. You may be an auditory learner if you are someone who: Likes to read to self out loud. Is not afraid to speak in class. Likes oral reports. Is good at explaining. Remembers names.

Test Type for Auditory Learners: Best Auditory Learners are good at writing responses to lectures they’ve heard. They’re also good at oral exams. Worst Reading passages and writing answers about them in a timed test.

8 LEARNING STYLES Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"): Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart") Spatial intelligence ("picture smart") Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart") Musical intelligence ("music smart") Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart") Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart") Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")

Dr. Howard Gardner professor of education at Harvard University Dr. Gardner says that our schools and culture focus most of their attention on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence.

How can you study? Linguistic intelligence ("word smart") Read the information over and over, take notes! Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart") Make charts, Spider Webs, take notes! Spatial intelligence ("picture smart"): As you write notes, use colors, draw pictures! Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart") Act out something from your notes, study in a group with music playing!

How can you study? Cont… Musical intelligence ("music smart") Study with music on, make up rhymes or songs to help you remember the information you are studying! Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart") Study with a group, quiz each other and make sure you all understand the information! Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart") Study on your own in a relatively quiet area! Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart") While in school, partner up with the Spatial Intelligence learners and work on identifying images, charts, and try using colors!

PATHWAYS words (linguistic intelligence) numbers or logic (logical-mathematical intelligence) pictures (spatial intelligence) music (musical intelligence) self-reflection (intrapersonal intelligence) a social experience (interpersonal intelligence) a physical experience (bodily-kinesthetic intelligence) an experience in the natural world (naturalist intelligence)
