All about Auditory Learners

Facts Teachers Must know about Auditory Learners

Auditory learners are very good listeners. They tend to absorb information in a more efficient manner through sounds, music, discussions, teachings, etc. These individuals will be more likely to record lectures so that they can replay them at a later time for study purposes.

 

They appreciate books on tape and may find that reading aloud will help them to retain information.

Rather than written reports, auditory learners tend to do better on oral presentations and reports.
