The FREE Instant Learning Strategies Newsletter is full of practical tips and strategies as well as information about materials to help your child succeed in school.

If your child took the Personal Learning Style Inventory and his or her highest scores were in the auditory or kinesthetic learning styles, it is likely that he or she may be receiving lower grades in school simply because of the mismatch in learning and testing styles. In other words, school tests are usually in one style (visual), while your child tends to learn and store information in another style (auditory or kinesthetic). Many children do not know how to learn and recall information in the visual style and need some coaching to do so.

Our other Instant Learning Strategies Newsletters contain specific learning strategies designed to raise your child's grades by showing him or her how to match learning and testing styles. If your child experiences difficulty in school, or has been diagnosed as Dyslexic or ADD / ADHD, understanding how he or she learns is important in unlocking the learning/testing success process.

Each person has their own unique way of learning. This is what produces visionary artists, magnificent musicians and gold medal athletes. However, some classes in school are presented in a completely different style from how many children learn.

The following article about learning styles, When Learning and Testing Styles Don't Match, will light the way to solving learning "problems" your child or student may be experiencing.

This is an excerpt from Instant Learning Strategies Newsletter No. 4:

When Learning and Testing Styles Don't Match

VISUAL (Seeing)

When the VISUAL style is preferred, the person is actually thinking in images or pictures. It is as if they have a movie camera in their mind. They take in what they hear or read and translate it into images in their brain. We call these people VISUAL learners. When the VISUAL learner wants to recall what he or she has learned, they simply glance upward and look at the image that they have stored on their "picture screen". This process is much like going to the movies and then recalling what one has seen, in order to tell a friend. The memory process is taking place by reviewing the pictures from the movie and then easily talking about the story line to someone else. Visual learners speak in terms of "I see, I get the picture."

In a classroom, the VISUAL learner performs very well because all testing is conducted in a written "visual" format. This requires that VISUAL images be made when recalling information. Good readers read the black and white text and then convert the information into pictures. This makes the memory process easier. The VISUAL child will easily conform to most classroom standards, such as sitting quietly, writing neatly and organizing materials well.

When choosing careers, the VISUAL person selects those which fit the learning style: architect, designer, decorator, engineer, surgeon, and those which require a "vision" of the future, such as CEOs and other executive positions.



KINESTHETIC (Physical)

The second learning style is defined as KINESTHETIC or physical. This person prefers to learn through their body or feelings. If they can touch it and feel whatever they are learning about, the KINESTHETIC learner will process and remember the information quite well. As students in a classroom, these children are usually quite restless, have more difficulty paying attention, and can't seem to get " focused " (a visual term). These learners like to speak about learning in terms of their feelings and say things like "I feel" or "I'd like to get a better handle on this information."

KINESTHETIC learners do not have the internal pictures of neatness and organization that visual learners make so easily in their minds. This is one of the reasons that kinesthetic learners have a more difficult time demonstrating what they know in a traditional classroom. Children who prefer the KINESTHETIC learning style are not usually making pictures in their minds. If they do not make pictures, it follows that there are no pictures to either keep neat, or to "mess up" Therefore, it is normal for them not to be organized. A sense of time is also quite difficult for the child who prefers to learn kinesthetically. Often, there is little projection of consequences of actions, simply because this child does not "see" out into the future. They only understand the present moment.

The KINESTHETIC child will excel in a classroom where book reports can be "acted out" and can choose assignments which allow them to build projects. Careers of choice include the wonderful world of athletics, building, construction, dancing, etc., any work which can involve the body and movement.



AUDITORY (Listening)

The third type of learner is known as the AUDITORY person. He or she learns best by hearing or listening. These people do not necessarily make pictures in their minds, as do the visual learners, but rather filter incoming information through their listening and repeating skills.

The AUDITORY learner tells wonderful stories and solves problems by "talking" about them. The excellent hearing and listening skills of this type of learner are what make great musicians, disc jockeys, psychologists, etc. Speech patterns will represent exactly how the AUDITORY person thinks, i.e., "I hear ya, that clicks, that sounds right, that rings a bell" etc. In school, the AUDITORY learner learns by listening and can easily repeat statements back to the teacher. The AUDITORY child likes class discussions but can become easily distracted. Of the three styles, the AUDITORY is the most talkative and has more difficulty writing.


Children taking written tests are expected to retrieve the information in the VISUAL learning style. The very fact that the information is written down produces a visual image. Nearly all subjects demand that the child make internal pictures of the information, store them and then recall the information in pictures to write onto a piece of paper.

You must teach your child or student how to become a VISUAL learner if they are to succeed in school because nearly all school testing is conducted in the visual or written mode. If your child does not naturally learn in the visual style, you can give the most help by letting them in on some of the visual learners techniques. The next newsletter will give you exact strategies and specific steps on how to teach your child to add the strategies of the visual learner to the learning techniques they already know.
