Students' Learning Styles

Tips Teachers Must Know about Visual Learners

-  Visual students are the ones who learn through what they are able to see with their own eyes. 

-  They are those students who jockey for the positions at the front of the class, must have front row theater seats and love to be right up front for sporting events in order to obtain the best view.

 

-  Visual learners have a tendency to describe everything that they see in terms of

appearances. 

-  These learners love visual aids such as photos, diagrams, maps and graphs. 

-  Visual learners frequently are good writers and will commonly perform quite well on written assignments.

-  They always:  

 

· Ask for written directions

· Utilize diagrams and flow charts for note taking

· Color code notes

· Visualize spelling of words or facts that must be memorized

· Write down key points

· Copy what is on the board

· Sit near the front of the classroom

· Watch videos

· Use highlighters to mark important points in notes

· Use graph paper in order to make diagrams and charts for key points
