2. 3 learning styles Visual learners Auditory learners Kinesthetic learners As we discuss the different learning styles, think about what type of learner you think you are.

3. Visual learners Are more likely to remember things if they write them down Can easily visualize pictures in their heads Better understand a person if they can see them Have a difficult time understanding what someone is saying when there is noise in the background Work better when it is quiet Visualize answers from the textbook when asked to recall them Like to write ideas down when they think of them

4. Auditory Learners Understand things better when they are able to discuss them Would rather hear instructions than read them Remember how something sounds rather than what it looks like Can easily pay attention to someone who is speaking even if they can not see him or her Have a difficult time picturing or visualizing something Talk themselves through tasks

5. KINESTHETIC LEARNERS Like to jump into tasks without reading or learning about them Study better when there is music playing Like to move around instead of sitting at a desk Look at the end of a book before they start it Typically have messy notebooks, lockers, and desks Often daydream in class Would rather do a presentation or a project than write a report

6. What type of learner are you? Visual? Auditory? Kinesthetic? You might be a combination

7. Tips for visual learners Write things down Look at your teachers when they are teaching Try to work and study in a quiet place Rewrite your notes so that you remember the information Sit in the front of the classroom Use flash cards to study Ask the teacher to explain something that you didn’t understand in a different way

8. Tips for auditory learners Study with a friend Read aloud when you are studying or trying to remember something Use flash cards and say what is written on them as you are studying If you are unable to read aloud when you are reading or studying, try to hear the words in your head as you are reading

9. Kinesthetic learners Walk around while reciting material that you are trying to remember Be creative and respectful and find ways to fidget without disturbing anyone else Take frequent breaks when you are studying to move around Go ahead and read the end-of-the-chapter summary or questions before you begin the chapter. This may help you to better understand what you read
