Is your teen’s learning style visual?

Have them:

• Write things down.
• Draw pictures, charts and maps to increase understanding.
• Use mind-mapping.
• Use planners, organizers or goal-setting charts.
• Highlight important points with color (but not in books which they've borrowed!)
• Try visualizing ideas and facts in their mind. 
• Have them change places in the room while studying, to get a different perspective.
• When they need to, revise, read over, and recopy notes.

Is your teen’s learning style auditory?

Have them: 

• Make use of sound. 
• Talk things through as they learn them, with a friend or tutorial group. 
• Get a friend to read aloud to them. 
• When they have to learn facts, they can recite them or even sing them aloud.
• Find out if they study best in silence, or with music playing in the background.
