TYPES OF LEARNERS: The VAK Model

Hello everyone this is the firts entry in my blog I hope you enjoy it. 


There are three main types of learning syles : the auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Most peapole learn best through a combination of the three types of learning styles.

Auditory Learners

Auditory learners are characterized by the following:
❙ They speak slowly and tend to be natural listeners.
❙ They think in a linear manner.

❙ They prefer to have things explained to them verbally rather

than to read written information. 

❙ They learn by listening and verbalizing.

Read-Write Learners

Read-write learners are characterized by the following:

❙They prefer for information to be displayed in writing, such as

lists of ideas. 

❙ They emphasize text-based input and output. 

❙ They enjoy reading and writing in all forms.

Your teaching strategy for read-write learners should include writing out key words in list form. The learners will learn by silently reading or rewriting their notes repeatedly; writing out in their own words the ideas and principles that were taught or discussed; organizing any diagrams.

Kinesthetic Learners

Kinesthetic learners are characterized by the following:

❙ They tend to be the slowest talkers of all.

❙ They tend to be slow to make decisions.

❙ They use all their senses to engage in learning. 

❙ They learn by doing and solving real-life problems.

❙ They like hands-on approaches to things and learn through

trial and error.
