There's a lot more learning styles but if added them all I'd be here a while!! Lmk if you want a part 2!
》Verbal learner
Verbal learning includes both writing and speaking. Verbal learners might have a preference for reading and writing, word games and poems.
Verbal learners know the meanings of a broad category of words, can use them effectively, and actively seek out new words to add to their repertoire.
Tend to ask questions frequently and have excellent verbal expression.
Tend to do better with word problems in math as opposed to equations.
Have a fascination with words and tend to learn new words easily.
Usually possess a rich vocabulary.
Verbal learners will want to write down notes, talk about concepts and potentially present them as well.
The trick with verbal learners is knowing what adjacent types of learning apply to them – are they an outgoing or more introspective verbal learner? Some may lean more to talking, while others to reading and writing.
》Suggestions For Verbal Learners:
Use mnemonics, such as PEMDAS, to help students understand concepts.
Establishing a rhythm while reading or speaking out loud helps to increase memorization capabilities.
Create story to combine/remember concepts
When possible choose writing/written projects
》Auditory / Musical Learner
Auditory learners like to hear solutions and examples explained to them, and may gravitate towards music subjects and group learning as a way to understand information.
Auditory learners often have a high aptitude for distinguishing notes and tones in music and speech.
Prefer giving oral reports to written ones
Enjoy discussions and debates
Repeat phone numbers in order to remember them
Benefit from study groups
Prefer to listen to music rather than view a piece of art
》Suggestions for Auditory learners:
Record class lectures.
Find a study buddy/group
Participate in class discussions
Sit in front of the classroom
Record yourself reading key terms and their definitions out loud
Repeat facts with your eyes closed.
》Visual / Spatial Learner
Visual learners like diagrams, drawing out concepts, charts, and processes. They learn by looking at visual concepts, creating them, and watching other people create them.
Visual learners might be organized or creative in their application, and find things like colors and shapes useful.
Feel frustrated and restless when unable to take notes.
Benefit from recopying or making their own notes, even from the printed information
Relate best to written information, notes, diagrams, maps, graphs, flashcards, highlighters, charts, pictures, computers.
Like to have pen and paper handy
Write down directions or draw a map
Prefer written instructions to oral ones.
Don't remember names easily.
》Suggestions For Visual Learners
Write things down
Jot down key points on post-it notes and display them around the house
Copy what's on the board
Sit near the front of the classroom to see the instructor clearly
Write keywords
Create visual reminders of auditory info
Use mind maps to summarize large tracts of information
Take notes
Make lists
Watch videos
Use flashcards
Use highlighters, underlining, etc.
》Logical / Mathematical Learner
Mathematical learners will greatly appreciate any type of learning that logically explains the subject at hand. For maths, that's easy.
Like to keep detailed planners and organizers
Enjoy playing strategy-based games
Are highly investigative and curious
Prefer visuals over words
Are highly goal-oriented
Seek out rules and procedures
May struggle writing creatively
May have difficulty seeing big-picture
》Suggestions for Logical Learners:
break down large chunks of information into charts and graphs.
Wherever possible try to use categorization or classifications
pick out common themes and patterns
Highlighters can be very helpful to logical learners to identify the most important parts while they are reading.
》Physical/kinesthetic Learners
Commonly called hands-on learners, kinesthetics prefer to physically engage with the materials of the subject matter.
They wiggle, tap, swing their legs, bounce, and often just can't seem to sit still.
often gifted in physical activities like running, swimming, dancing, and other sports.
typically very coordinated and have an excellent sense of their body in space and of body timing.
Tactile learners learn through fine motor movements rather than whole-body movement.
》Suggestions for Physical Learners:
Create and use flashcards.
Utilize body anchors.
Write and draw things out.
Focus on breathing and relaxation to focus.
Practice role-playing techniques.
