“The Learners” By: Terry Farwell We learn by "seeing it" (visually), "hearing it"(auditary), or "moving and doingit"(kinesthetically), and most of us have one primary learning style through which we best learnand remember information. Allof us con benefitfrom identifying and understanding our individual learning styles. “Actions Speak Louder than Words” Kinesthetic learners” best learn by daing. These students may be avid note takers in class, but not review them later; they remember things that were seen, done, ordiscussed, "When given assignments, such as writinga book report or making scenefrom a book, [kinesthetic lea ners will make a scene. They can learn to read and follow directions through the use of recipes, etc." (Parent Newsletter, NDCU Extension Service, October 1997). Kinesthetic learners move, bounce, and travel around dassroomsand homes. They are rarely stil, but in their movements are always learning. These individuals will point while giving directions, or only be able to get to 2 particular place by taking you there. Making small adjustments in the lives and routines of these individuals will faciitate them in increasing their success at home and at school. Strategies for KinestheticLearners: + Study Important information by placing facts on index cards and reading the information aloud while pacing or walking around.
