12 Learning Styles
13 What is a Learning Style? A learning style is an innate preference for gathering information. There are three primary types of learning styles: Visual Auditory Kinesthetic 13
14 Your Learning Style How do you like to get directions? Do you want to read directions? Do you want someone to read directions to you? Do you want to use a navigation system? Do you want to be driven there? Do you want to leave it to chance? 14
15 Let s look at the Learning Styles Inventory you completed What s Your Learning Style? Learning Style Inventory for Adults 15
16 What s Your Style? If you scored mostly a s, you may have a visual learning style. Your learning preference is by seeing and looking. If you scored mostly b s, you may have an auditory learning style. Your learning preference is by hearing and listening. If you scored mostly c s, you may have a kinesthetic learning style. Your learning preference is by touching and doing. 16
17 Let s take a closer look at each of the different learning styles Prefer to learn by % of Population* Seeing Visual Learner: 40% Hearing Auditory Learner: 30% Doing Kinesthetic Learner: 30% *Study posted by Three Rivers Community College, Norwich, CT 17
18 Visual learners Think in pictures. May be seen as daydreamers because they have to reconstruct pictures in their minds. Learn through seeing reading text and visual displays. o o o o Photos Posters Bulletin Boards Concept Maps Learning is based on the idea of the positioning of items. Memorize by writing visual representation. Doodles and looks around when inactive 18
19 Tips For Visual Learners Look at all the pictures, charts, and graphs in your textbooks. Visualize, or see in your mind, new vocabulary or spelling words. Examine the bulletin boards and displays in your classroom for connections to lessons. Use a colorful highlighter to point out important information in your reading. Visualize yourself doing what you are trying to learn. 19
20 Auditory Learners Learn through listening and repeating words aloud. Benefit from using audio recordings Likely to ask questions during a lecture Classical music can help retention of information. Written information may have little meaning until it is heard. Are very good readers due to practice with reading out loud. Find quiet times very frustrating. Inactivity leads to talking. 20
21 Tips for the Auditory Learner Make tapes of your class notes and listen to them. Tape record lectures and discussions in class. Remember details by trying to hear previous discussions Say new vocabulary words and spelling words out loud. Participate in class discussions. Whisper new information to yourself. 21
22 Kinesthetic Learners Learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around them. Find motion useful in learning. Are uncomfortable in classrooms where they lack opportunities for hands-on experience. Inactivity leads to fidgeting. Find it easier to learn with large amounts of space available. Districted by physical disturbance. May find it hard to sit still for long periods of time. Enjoy activities such as cooking, construction, engineering, and art to help them perceive and learn. Speak with their hands and with gestures. 22
23 Tips for Kinesthetic Learners... Learn by doing, touching, or practicing. Write notes to yourself to help you remember things. Trace over new spelling words with your finger. Take frequent stand up and stretch breaks. Move around quietly when you need to concentrate. Build projects to help explain your ideas. 23
24 The Learning Environment Project based activities tend to bring a multiple learning style approach into the classroom. Important things to consider in your child s learning environment: Displays Room layout Who sits with whom Music/sounds Lighting Distractions 24
25 Learning at Home 25
26 Learning at Home Be empathetic to your child s learning preferences. Establish a learning routine: Same time each day. Same location. Be aware of the learning environment. Sound Light Seating Distractions Is it best for your child to have a snack before studying? 26
27 Your Child s Learning Style Student Learning Style Survey A tool for parents and their children which allows the student to answer a series of questions to discover their learning preferences. Please ask or assist your child to complete the provided Student Learning Style Survey at home. 27

37 Research tells us When schools and families work together, a partnership of support for children develops. Education becomes a shared venture, characterized by mutual respect and trust in which the importance and influence of each partner is recognized. Although children, families, teachers, and schools benefit individually, their partnerships enhance the entire process of education.
