Learning is an integral part of our life and not necessarily it’s limited to books and classes. Instead, it’s the life experience that teaches us the most valuable lessons.
We have heard many times, every child is different, children learn at their own pace and so. Along with pace, there is another difference among different learners. It’s their learning style.
We have broadly classified learning styles into three:
- Visual Learner
A kind of learner who learns best when presented with some materials such as diagrams, photographs, charts, or videos. They tend to perceive information by looking, analysing the information provided, and results in the best learning experience and retaining the information. Using pictures, flash cards, graphical presentation of information are useful way of engaging visual learners and forming associations.
2. Auditory Learner 
Listening is an important skill, an active listener can excel in their field. Auditory learners are amazing listeners. They do not prefer any sort of disturbance while listening. They can retain most information just by listening. You must have witnessed some students who do not take notes and still remember everything. They are auditory learners. Even writing notes can be a distraction for such learners.
3. Kinesthetic Learners 
Hands-on experience, this term is not new in today’s time. This term represents the teaching methodology for Kinesthetic learners. They are also known as tactile learners, which means to touch. This method is often opted in pre-schools and at a young age, where a child is taught through experimental methods. Such activities include making puppets, using props while storytelling, Use of gestures to memorize vocabulary.
Probably, you may be one kind of learner or a combination of these styles. There is no clear-cut definition that works for everyone. All you need is to explore the best method of learning for yourself so that you can maximize your retention.
