They may find it hard to follow oral instructions,or even to listen, unless there is something interesting to watch. When visual learners study, they often ben-efit from graphic organizers such as charts and graphs. Flashcards often appeal to them and help them learn,especially if they use colored markers, which will help them form images in their mind as they learn wordsor concepts.Auditory learners, by contrast, like oral directions and may find written materials confusing or boring.They often talk to themselves and may even whisper aloud when they read. They like being read aloud to.Auditory learners will benefit by saying things aloud as they study and by making tapes for themselves andlistening to them later. Oral repetition is also an important study tool. Making up rhymes or other oralmnemonic devices will also help them study, and they may like to listen to music as they work.Kinesthetic learners like to stay on the move. They often find it difficult to sit still for a long time andwill often tap their feet and gesticulate a lot while speaking. They tend to learn best by doing rather thanobserving. Kinesthetic learners may want to walk around as they practice what they are learning, becauseusing their body helps them remember things. Taking notes and making flashcards are important ways ofreinforcing knowledge for the kinesthetic learner.
