What Are the Visual Learner’s Characteristics?

They tend to have a vivid imagination and this can sometimes lead to daydreaming or mental wandering. Since they think primarily in pictures, they highly enjoy visual stimulation. They tend to grasp the underlying meaning behind body language and facial expressions. On the flip side, they may need to see a person’s body language and facial expression to fully understand what they are trying to say. They are typically good at reading maps and charts. When it comes to spelling, they oftentimes need to visualize the words in order to spell them correctly.

Visual Learning Strategies for Students

• Color-code your notes, vocabulary words, and textbook.
• Be sure to read the diagrams, maps, and other visuals that go along with text to help you remember it.

• Take notes during lectures to capitalize on your visual learning style.
• Sit near the front so you're better able to see everything.
• Use outlines and concept maps to organize your notes.

Visual Learning Strategies for Teachers

• Supplement verbal lectures with a handout, diagram, or other visuals.
• Incorporate color into your presentations, the classroom, and handouts.
• Give written instructions and expectations.
• Vary your reading in class with solitary reading time so visual learners will take in the information better.
• Vary your instructional methods (lectures, group work, solitary work, pairs, circles) and assignments so every learner is challenged.
• Show your students how to complete a task instead of just telling your students how to complete a task.
• Show students how to make great vocabulary flashcards.
• Use video and still images to enhance your presentations.
• Provide written feedback on assignments.
