1. Loves reading

A visual learner enjoys to read immersive texts that makes them dream and thoughtful.

2. Focus and attentive

A visual learner is attentive and focus when taught with visual resources such as photos, graphics and videos.

3. Written records

The brain of a visual learner is like a sponge that absorbs only what they are interested in. To remember things, they must have a visual idea or record from them.

4. Art

Art is an important method of learning for visual learners.

5. Misunderstands instructions presented

verbally Tendency to mix up

orders and instructions given to them verbally without having a written record of them.

6. Watches what goes on around

Visual learners are often quiet and carefully paying more attention to the ambient than to the teacher.

7. Visual resources Visual learners pay more attention to

photos, videos and multimedia resources rather to phonics.

8. Watches teacher's lips closely

In order to get more information, visual learners focus their attention on their teachers lips.

9. Persuaded by publicity Visual learners can be easily persuaded

by the colours and lights of store windows, posters and bulletin boards. Interested on ads and publicity.

10. Facial expressions and body language

Signs and body movement are other ways of transmitting information used by visual learners.

11. Dislikes speaking on public

Visual learners dislike doing oral presentations or activities that involve talking in public.

12. Great imagination

They tend to be creative and imaginative. This can lead to daydreaming and having a lack of attention in class.

places and locations. Highlighting information help on the process of learning.
