Visual learners in primary school are recognised by their love of reading, tend to be good spellers, and they have inherent organization skills. Most visual learners would rather watch what you are doing, but they do have trouble with following verbal directions. Write down what you want a visual learner to do, and they will smile happily and go on with their work.
Many visual students have great handwriting, notice details and remember faces, but do not remember names as much. They are easily distracted by the noise in the classroom. Do you have a student who loves to doodle on their paper? They are probably a visual learner.
Studies acknowledge that 65 percent of the population are visual learners. Visual learners captivate and remember information best when they see something versus having the item described to them.
Tips and Tricks to help a Visual Learner
If you have visual learners in your class, and you will, there are some time-tested strategies that will help them succeed.
• Start lessons by putting letters on flash-cards and having your visual students arrange the words.
• Use visual activities like maps, videos, puzzles, matching activities, word searches and computers.
• When studying and memorizing with visual students, use flashcards.
• Encourage the visual learner to write down and highlight information. Demonstrate what you want a visual learner to do. When giving verbal directions, write down keywords and use visuals signals. Teaching to the visual student is very easy to do in primary school settings.
• Try using visuals when teaching lessons. These visuals should include images, charts, story maps, maps, diagrams, and illustrations.
• It works quite well in written sentences on paper strips. Have the students use paragraphing or put these strips together.
• Show the patterns in words or emphasize word families.
• Visual learners need to see the body language and expressions on the teacher’s face, so keep your lectures to the front of the class.
• Let your visual learners take as many notes of your lessons as they want. They learn by writing lessons down and taking notes. Your visual students’ textbooks will be underlined, highlighted and well used.
• A great idea is to place visual learns where they have a clear line of sight to the visual aids. This way your visual student will keep their attention on the tasks at hand.
• Field trips are perfect for the entire class, and visual learners will gain a great education experience by going on field trips.
Visual learning is teaching in a style where ideas, data, and concepts associate with images. The basis of visual learning takes place in the visual cortex of the brain or the occipital lobe of the brain. For primary school children or children aged 4-11, intellect is related to the level of visual plus auditory integrative proficiency. Now is the time a child’s visual learning is applied to formal learning. Focus students’ attention to books and reading that will impact how they learn. Visual learning focuses on physical objects in proximity, but also in interpreting words and word patterns.
