VARK Learning Styles

The VARK learning styles model identifies four modalities of how students prefer to learn: visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic. Researchers Neil Fleming and Coleen Mills developed the VARK questionnaire after observing thousands of students to understand their learning preferences. Visual learners prefer using images and graphics, while auditory learners learn best through listening. Reading/writing learners benefit from note taking and reading text. Kinesthetic learners understand through hands-on activities and putting things together physically. The document then provides VARK learning style scores for family members who completed the questionnaire.

VARK Learning Styles

The acronym “VARK” is used to describe four modalities of student learning that were described
in a 1992 study by Neil D. Fleming and Coleen E. Mills. These different learning styles—visual,
auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic—were identified after thousands of hours of classroom
observation. The authors also created an accompanying questionnaire for educators to give to
students to help them identify and understand their own learning preferences.
Visual
Visual learners prefer the use of images, maps, and graphic organizers to access and understand
new information.
Auditory

Auditory learner’s best understand new content through listening and speaking in situations such
as lectures and group discussions. Aural learners use repetition as a study technique and benefit
from the use of mnemonic devices.
Read & Write
Students with a strong reading/writing preference learn best through words. These students may
present themselves as copious note takers or avid readers, and are able to translate abstract
concepts into words and essays.
Kinesthetic
Students who are kinesthetic learners best understand information through tactile
representations of information. These students are hands-on learners and learn best through
figuring things out by hand (i.e. understanding how a clock works by putting one together).
