Tips for visual learners:
Use books, videos, computers, visual aids, and flashcards. Make detailed, color-coded or high-lighted notes. Make outlines, diagrams, and lists. Use drawings and illustrations (preferably in color). Take detailed notes in class.
Tips for auditory learners:
Read notes or study materials out loud. Use word associations and verbal repetition to memorize. Study with other students. Talk things through. Listen to books on tape or other audio recordings. Use a tape recorder to listen to lectures again later.
Tips for kinesthetic learners:
Get hands on. Do experiments and take field trips. Use activity-based study tools, like role-playing or model building. Study in small groups and take frequent breaks. Use memory games and flash cards. Study with music on in the background
