![]() So we commonly use apps and videos in our homeschooling. ![]() He learns a lot of information from apps and videos that he can watch and play over and over again. As I have been homeschooling Joseph over the years I have noticed he is always drawn to lights and music.

What are the Characteristics of an Auditory Learner?Įven if there is not a lot of information to back up the concept of VARK there are definitely are people who prefer auditory information. An auditory learner can retain up to 75% of the information they hear. Only about 30% of learners learn best by listening to information. It is interesting to have an auditory learner. This post is going to focus on children who have audio (aural) as their preferred mode of learning. The VARK acronym stands for Visual, Aural, Reading, and Kinesthetic to represent the various types of learners. People often have a preferred mode of learning and these preferred modes often align to one of the modes of learning under the VARK system. Though there is no real science behind learning models we have known for centuries about the different modes of learning. The VARK learning model was initially developed in 1987 by Neil Fleming, Christchurch, New Zealand, and became widely taught to many school officials. Why does the learning styles model continue to persist? So how do you homeschool a child who seems to learn more by listening versus any other mode of learning? Why might someone be an auditory learner? What are some good methods to provide home instruction, or homeschooling, to an auditory learner? In this blog post we will go over these questions and more. I believe this is why the idea of learning styles continues to exist despite the lack of sound science to back it up. Though there is no strong science supporting the idea of various learning styles ( auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners) I do think there are preferred modes of learning for every person.
