• Learning styles are preferences

– Some students prefer to study using graphs and charts. Some prefer hands on subjects or find it easier to grasp material through class discussion.

– This DOES NOT mean that we can not learn in many ways. A visual learner may prefer to study using images but they certainly can learn by listening to lectures or by completing hands-on assignments.

• Depending on which article or book you read there are somewhere between 3 and 12 different learning styles.

• The number of learning styles is not important.

• What is critical is learning about yourself, discovering your preferences, and applying specific techniques that can help you find more success in school and in your future career field.
