Orientation
Read/Write Learners
Characteristics:
- Learn through reading and writing
- Learn best by reading and re-reading the textbook and their notes, writing and rewriting their notes, and in general, organizing items into lists.
Kinesthetic Learners
 Characteristics:
- Learn through moving, doing, and touching
- Learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around them.
- May find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity and exploration.
If you are a tactile/kinesthetic learner, here are some suggestions just for you:
- Take frequent study breaks
- Move around to learn new things (e.g. read while on an exercise bike, mold a piece of clay to learn a new concept)
- Work at a standing position
- Chew gum while studying
- Use bright colors to highlight reading material
- Dress up your work space with posters
- If you wish, listen to music while you study
- Skim through reading material to get a rough idea what it is about before settling down to read it in detail.
