AUDITORYAuditory learners process and remember information best 

when they hear it and repeat it. Use this knowledge to customize your high school study skills 

with teacher tested auditory learning styles strategies.Read aloud and repeat. Highlight key concepts as you read. Then read the highlighted material aloud. To memorize facts, 

repeat the information aloud several times. Record and review. To boost retention, record lectures (get 

permission first). Then review the material at home. If you take written 

notes, read them into a recorder and play them back. You can also read, record, and listen to textbook chapters.

Page 16: BELL RINGER What does it mean to you to study?. Study!

AUDITORYDiscuss. Explain new concepts to a family member or study partner. When you have required reading, retell the main points of the selection in your own words.

Practice word association. Use rhymes and acronyms to help recall facts. 

Example: In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue!

Use CDs. Ask your librarian if a required book is available on CD. To increase comprehension of a book on CD, 

follow along the text as you listen.Ask for help. Ask friends and family members to quiz you 

orally as you prepare for tests

VISUALTo study most efficiently, focus on the strengths of a 

visual learning style.Use color. Buy a rainbow of pens and highlighters. When you take notes, use different colors for different concepts 

Write key concepts three times in three different colors. 

Highlight important passages and points in standout shades.

Look at the pictures first. Before you read a passage from a textbook, first look at the illustrations to get an idea

 of the topic. When you read the chapter, review the graphics to help you remember key concepts.

Page 18: BELL RINGER What does it mean to you to study?. Study!

VISUALPicture what you read. As you read, get a clear idea of what’s going on by picturing the action in your 

mind. Use flashcards. Use flashcards to help you memorize 

facts. For example, for a history class, write a date on one side of a card and key events that took p

lace on that date on the reverse.Get it in writing. Remember to take notes on everything your teacher writes on the board or 

displays using presentation software. Ask the teacher to supply written assignments 

whenever possible.

KinestheticKinesthetic learners process information and solve 

problems most efficiently when they turn learning into a hands 

on activity. Try some of these kinesthetic learning strategies.Get a grip on it. If you can, choose projects that let you use your hands. If you are studying the solar 

system, for instance, build a model of it. 

Page 20: BELL RINGER What does it mean to you to study?. Study!

KinestheticGet more from reading. When you read, follow along with your fingers or a bookmark to boost comprehension. Use bright colors to underline, circle, and highlight concepts. Rewrite relevant 

facts or key concepts in your own words. Act out a passage from a book you are assigned or put on a

 skit to demonstrate what you are studying. 

Page 21: BELL RINGER What does it mean to you to study?. Study!

KinestheticTake a break. To focus better and avoid boredom, 

study for a short time (no longer than thirty minutes), and then take a physical activity break.Explore. Take field trips. Look for exhibits or programs that relate to topics you are learning about in class. For instance, if you are studying ancient Egypt, go to a museum that has ancient 

Egyptian artifacts.
