III. TACTILE LEARNERS<br />
They learn primarily through touch. Children who are more tactile prefer activities or<br />
projects that allow <strong>the</strong>m use <strong>the</strong>ir hands. These children may prefer doodling or<br />
drawing to aid memory.<br />

The tactile style is more moderate, involving fine motor movements, ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />
than <strong>the</strong> whole-body movements<br />
Tactile learners take in in<strong>for</strong>mation through <strong>the</strong> sense of touch and feeling<br />

to know <strong>the</strong>m<br />
Tactile learners learn best with hands-on activities<br />

constructing something or practising a technique or skill. A hands on approach that allows<br />
a child to actively explore her physical world helps her/him learn best.<br />
