Students all learn in different ways and they often learn more than one way at a time. Students might learn by seeing, doing, or hearing. People who learn by seeing are called visual learners. They like to read and see things on paper in order to absorb the knowledge in front of them.

 

Instructors may teach visual learners by using books and workbooks. They like to learn by reading and they remember new information by looking at it. At the same time, many visual learners kike quiet when they are trying to concentrate. Noise can distract them from the words on the page.

 

In addition, a teacher should train visual learners to picture information in their heads. Create lists and diagrams to represent material they need to learn. When they try to recall information later, they can visualize the lists and pictures to remember the facts they learned.  More so, teach them to spell by picturing the words in their head. Visual learners should look at a word, look away, visualize the word and then write them down. They see to learn so showing them spelling words on paper helps them remember.

 

To maximize learning, make flash cards for visual learners. Use colourful pens and different styles of writing. You can add photos or diagrams on the back to create a visual picture then encourage visual learners to study facts, memorize them, and then write them down.
