Types of learning styles

Visual Learners
Students who best internalize and
synthesize information when it is
presented to them in a graphic
depiction of meaningful symbols are
described as visual learners.
They may respond to arrows, charts,
diagrams and other visualizations of
information hierarchy, but not
necessarily to photographs or videos.
Because visual learners tend to see
positive educational outcomes when
they are presented with summarizing
charts and diagrams rather than
sequential slides of information
Auditory Learners
Auditory (or aural) learners are most
successful when they are given the
opportunity to hear information presented
to them vocally. 
Because students with this learning style may sometimes
opt not to take notes during class in order to maintain their
unbroken auditory attention, educators can erroneously
conclude that they are less engaged than their classmates.
However, these students may simply have decided that note-
taking is a distraction and that their unbroken attention is a
more valuable way for them to learn. 
Read-write learners learn best when
reading or writing words. Text-based
activities, such as taking notes, reading
novels or textbooks, and creating
presentations, lend themselves well to
the read-write learner when trying to
learn something new or review old
information. Those who are read-write
learners would much prefer to read the
Harry Potter books instead of watching
the movies.
Kinesthetic learners, also known as tactile
learners, learn most successfully by touching,
feeling, and, ultimately, doing. Hands-on
activities, like building models, acting out
scenarios, and carrying out experiments, work
best for kinesthetic learners as it allows them
to associate motion with information.
As I’m sure many of you can
confirm, a kinesthetic learner
couldn’t care less about listening
to lectures or reading textbooks;
they want to get up there and give
it a go themselves!
As I observe in the class some learners use the three types of
learning styles which is the visual, auditory, read and write. I
can see that there are different kinds of students with
different ability in their way of learning.
