Auditory Learners:
According to Sumner (2014) auditory learners:
Process the information aloud. This involves asking
questions and answering them using your voice. The more
you discuss the information aloud the better.
Attend recorded and/or live webinars.
Use verbal analogies and storytelling to demonstrate and talk
through your point.
Visual Learners:
According to Sumner (2014) visual learners:
Include drawings and pictures in your notes to illustrate ideas
and use COLOR!
Read the text and then convert the information into pictures,
notes, diagrams, or mind maps. Learn more about making
mind maps and using mind maps on YouTube (videos are a
great learning tool for visual learners, too!).
Study in a quiet place away from distractions.

Reflection
As I was analyzing my data from the learning styles inventory I
realized that majority of my class are kinesthetic and visual learners. I think
those two types of learning styles go hand in hand somewhat. Quite a few of
my students were both kinesthetic and visual. I am going to try to implement
some of the ideas above into my daily lessons. Some of which I already do
so it is reassuring that I am accommodating to meet their learning style. We
do brain breaks everyday to help our brains focus more and to give them a
chance to move around. Also, I provide a lot of visuals because I think in
first grade it is crucial for them to visualize what we are learning. I also
incorporate a lot of videos that supplement my lesson. I find it challenging to
try to accommodate for all three types of learning styles because even
though I have majority kinesthetic and visual, I do have a few who are
auditory. So, in my daily practices and in every lesson, I need to make sure
to include a way to engage each of my learners. There are many websites on
my PLE that I will use to help support each learner. I have website that help
get kids moving, websites that allow them to listen, and then websites that
are very visual for them.
