Learning Strategies for the <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Learner</strong><br />
• Try to work in a quiet place. Wear earmuffs or earplugs if necessary. Some<br />
visual learners do, however, like soft music in the background.<br />
• Most visual learners learn best alone.<br />
• When trying to learn material by writing out notes, cover your notes then rewrite.<br />
Re-writing will help you remember better.<br />
• Before reading a chapter or a book, preview it first by scanning the pictures,<br />
headings and so on.<br />
• Try to put your desk away from the door and windows and close to the front<br />
of the class.<br />
