The Auditory or Listening Learner

If you or your child learn by hearing or listening you are considered an auditory learner. Some characteristics of auditory or listening learners are:

1. You sit where you can hear the information, but you don't need to pay attention to know what is happening in the front of the room.

2. You may not coordinate colors or clothes, but can explain why they are wearing what they are wearing.

3. You will hum or talk to yourself or others when bored.

4. You learn and remember more when you read aloud.

5. You remember things by verbalizing lessons to yourself. If you don't verbalize the information you will have difficulty reading maps, diagrams, or handling assignments like math.

If an auditory or listening learner has to do a task around the house, they will call someone to explain the steps, ask for instructions, or go to the store and ask questions. An auditory learner will need to study by hearing the information. If they are studying spelling words they should spell the words aloud every day and the day before the test should practice writing the words down. Many listening learners like to tape record lectures to listen to the information over and over again.

Visual or Seeing Learner

If you or your child is a visual learner you will learn by seeing and looking at the information. The following examples will help you decide if you or your child are visual learners.

1. You take numerous detailed notes when receiving information.

2. You prefer to sit in the front of the room.

3. You are usually neat and clean.

4. You will close your eyes to visualize or remember something.

5. You will find something to watch if you have time or are bored.

6. You like to see what you are learning.

7. You do better from illustrations and presentations that use color.

8. You really enjoy written or spoken language that is rich with imagery.

9. You prefer not to have any outside distractions when learning.

10. You find quiet surroundings ideal for learning.

When a visual learner wants to know more or learn how to do a certain job, they will research online for answers, read several websites, go to bookstores and find books and magazines, go to a store and read the back of labels, or watch a course at the store. I you or your child is a visual learner they must see or read it. So, when they study it usually needs to be quiet, organized, and they must have the information written down. Have them write their spelling words and have them look at the words. If they write the words and look at them for just a few minutes every day, they will usually pass the spelling test on Friday.

Three Different Learning Styles

People learn in different ways and no learning style is better than another. Gardner and other experts say there are as many as eight different learning styles, but it is easier to break it down to three types.

1. Auditory learners - listening learners

Listening learners heard their mother say the stove is hot and they believe the information and never touch the stove.

2. Visual learners - seeing learners

Seeing learners watch their brother touch the stove and never touch it because they believe the stove is hot because they saw what happened.

3. Kinesthetic learners - touch/experience learners

Experience learners will touch the stove to see if it is really hot, but only have to touch it once to know that it is hot.

Monday-Wednesday, I am going to explain the three different learning styles in detail. By Wednesday you should know your child's learning style or if the child is still too young at least know what to look for. Knowing the learning style is going to help the child study and perform better academically in school. It will also help your child's teacher and you understand how the child process information. I know this will be extremely informative and I hope it will help your child "Get the Best Education Possible".

Good Luck in Education,

Debbie West
