Sharpen your pencil! Visual learners learn best through the territory of the images and illustrations. Visual area students think in pictures. Once you have a vision of the concept, they understand! No need for repetition and drill.
Do not learn sequentially in a "traditional" teaching methods and curriculum will only lead to frustration and poor school performance.
Visual Spatial Learners:
Thinking in Pictures
Recognize faces, objects, shapes,colors, details and scenes
Having a good sense of direction
Need to understand the big picture before going into details
Do not learn sequentially (step-by-step)
Learning by seeing and observing
Use visual images to retrieve information
Enjoy doodling, drawing, painting and sculpture
Often reverse letters when writing
Do not learn through repetition and practice
Discover models easily
Doodle while listening
How to choose Visual Spatial HomeschoolCurriculum.
Choose the curriculum that can be read aloud, has manipulatives, or is experimental in nature. Look for resources that focus on the general framework of a subject, patterns and relationships rather than facts and sequential stages. Do textbooks and worksheets (in most cases).
HISTORY
Read (and read alouds) allow the display of stories. Using video, computer programs, lapbooks, notebooking and practical projects.
Language Arts
Visual Spacelearners benefit from visual aids, when learning new information and to get their thoughts on paper. Look for resources that use flow charts, concept maps, graphic organizers, and art.
These students are bright, with content still struggle with the mechanics of writing. Remember, a best-selling authors are editors! Avoid curriculum that emphasizes spelling, grammar, and capitalization.
LITERATURE
Read (and read alouds) Opportunity for students to see the landstories in their minds.
MATH
Visual / pictorial aids and manipulatives are a necessity in mathematics. Using illustrations and stories to teach facts and processes. color code steps for solving math problems. students excel with the concepts of territory, but struggle with details and calculations.
Phonics
Visual area students often struggle to learn to read. Use a phonetic approach to reading and whole word. Because I think in pictures, connect with letter soundsphotos. Give them a lot of time with this.
SCIENCE
Use flow charts and graphic organizers to display information. Use the reading (and read alouds), videos, computer programs, lapbooks, notebooking, and a lot of practical experiments.
Visual learning activities in the territory
Visual spatial learners think in images to use graphical and pictorial methods of working with ideas and presenting information. When planning lessons ask ...
Asthe argument can be illustrated?
How can 'show' my son what he learned?
Lessons to teach using ...
Visuals - "a picture is worth a thousand words"
Flow charts for teaching jobs
colored pens to distinguish the parties (the parties display a word in a sentence, spelling patterns, divider / dividends, etc.)
Video
Field trips
Highlighting, underlining, and drawing pictures while teaching
Discovery - capitalizing on the strengths of the study model for your child
Reading aloud
Visualshung around the room (ie Greek and Latin word parts)
graphics unit to introduce the big picture
Have Your Visual Spatial Learner ...
Draw while listening to lectures
Use webbing to brainstorm, organize information for writing (pre-writing), or analyze stories and characters
Use concept maps to show the knowledge of a subject and its relations
Map locations of an environment story, historical events, geographical features
Working with math manipulatives
U.S.graphic organizers for almost everything. Introduce or summarize a unit, analyzing the literature, explain the cycles and sequences, pre-writing and brainstorming
are just some examples.
Create storyboard for creative writing and literary analysis
Dramatize or demonstrate the concept
Draw pictures of events on a timeline
Research using websites and video
Create cards for learning spelling words, math facts, etc.
Create charts and graphs to show the results of research appointmentsor to answer questions workbook
Building models
Create collages, posters, murals and a concept or a summary of the unit
Use software such as Eyewitness Encyclopedia
