If you have an Auditory learning style you will probably have a preference for learning through listening:
To the spoken word, to yourself, to others or of sounds and noises.
You will be best able to perform a new task after listening to instructions from someone else. You probably remember all the words to songs you hear! You may move your lips when you read and even read out loud.
Sometimes you might find it hard to write notes whilst listening at the same time.
Action plan
If you are a auditory learner, you can help your own learning with the following ideas:
- Try studying with a friend so you can talk aloud about the work
- Say aloud the things you want to remember
- Before reading a chapter, look at all the pictures, headings and talk out loud and say what you think the chapter is about
- Read out loud whenever possible
- Make recordings of notes or lessons and listen to them to revise
- Discuss facts, concepts and ideas with a friend
- Walk around and talk through your notes
- Use rhymes and songs to memorise facts, times-tables
- Give presentations and speeches to yourself.
