Individualized In-School Tutoring Visual: Learn best when visualizing the content of literature. Writing down names and terms helps them memorization. Understand concepts better when the teachers uses visual aids. They also struggle to focus when surrounded by motion and confusion. Often times visual learners cannot maintain long conversation. When reading, if they do not recognize a word they will look at it or write it out to try and determine if it is correct. Examples: "Picture Walks", whiteboards, writing exercises Auditory: Place greater attention on what they hear rather than what they see. To aid memorization, they will repeat material aloud. When having difficulty solving a problem, auditory learners will talk through it with others and themselves. However, they become anxious to input their own opinion when others are talking. They explain stories in great detail. In a noisy and chaotic environment auditory learners will have trouble concentrating. Examples: Phonics phone, reading aloud Kinesthetic Gain knowledge best through interactive assignments. Struggle to pay attention if they remain motionless for too long. When reading kinesthetic learners will squirm and fidget to try and understand the characters motions. They prefer hands on learning and best understand when they can try and do it themselves. By rearranging and re-positioning their bodies, kinesthetic learners find it easier to solve problems. They try to feel the flow of their writing by applying increased pressure to their writing utensil. Examples: Crafts, Dances and Movements. The Process I worked with 4 different students one-on-one for my project.
