WHAT IS A LEARNING STYLE?

• A learning style refers to a student’s pattern of learning preference that is consistent across circumstances.

• So, for example, a student who is a visual learner will prefer visual input and revision materials no matter what the subject and no matter what they’re learning to do.

VARK EXPLAINED

• There are four learning styles; Visual, Auditory, Read and Write and Kinaesthetic.

• The initials of these styles together spell the acronym VARK.

• Some people are a mix of two or more of these styles.
