- Neil Fleming developed the VARK model to categorize learning styles as Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, or Kinesthetic. The VARK model aims to help teachers identify individual student learning preferences and use multimodal teaching strategies.
- According to the VARK model, students learn best when instruction is tailored to their preferred learning style - visual learners through images, auditory learners through spoken explanations, reading/writing learners through text, and kinesthetic learners through physical activities.
- Teachers must understand each student's VARK profile to effectively use varied instructional methods that engage all learning styles in the classroom.

• Designer of the VARK questionnaire and associated resources was Neil
Fleming. • Not all the learners are the same. Each student and person has a unique and complex system of thinking and learning. • VARK is an acronym that refers to the four types of learning styles: Visual Auditory Reading/Writing Preference Kinesthetic Visual Auditory learners learners learn best learn best by by seeing hearing
Kinesthetic Read/ Write
learners learners learn learn best best by by reading and touching writing and doing information Conclusion You have to know the VARK profile (learning styles) for your students and use multimodal strategies adapting to their learning styles. Neil D. Fleming
Neil D. Fleming (born 1939) is a teacher from New Zealand.
• He has taught in universities, teacher education centers and high schools. • Before working for eleven years in faculty development at Lincoln University, he was for nine years a senior inspector for the over 100 high schools in the South Island of New Zealand. This involved being a critical observer of over 9000 'lessons' in classrooms. Fleming is best known worldwide for the design of the VARK model. • Fleming came up with the idea for the VARK model while working as an inspector for the New Zealand education system; he noticed that some great teachers were not reaching some students while other poor teachers were. When he moved to Lincoln University he decided to investigate why this was. • His VARK model was initiated in 1987 through work done at Lincoln University. • Prior to Fleming's work, VAK was in common usage. Fleming split the Visual dimension (the V in VAK) into two parts—symbolic as Visual (V) and text as Read/write (R). This created a fourth mode, Read/write and brought about the word VARK for a new concept, a learning-preferences approach, a questionnaire and support materials.
