These learners will learn better when they read or see information. Learning from a lecture may not be as easy. They tend to find the following strategies useful:

• writing things down as this makes them easier to remember (eg quotes, lists etc);
• looking at the person while they are talking as it helps them stay focused;
• working in a quiet place;
• studying by themselves;
• taking lots of notes, leaving extra space if some details were missed;
• copying out notes, as rewriting helps recall;
• using colour to highlight main ideas in notes, textbooks, handouts, etc;
• before reading an assignment setting a specific study goal, writing it down and posting it in front of them, for example: 'from 7.00 to 7.30 I will read the first chapter';
• previewing a chapter before reading by first looking at all the pictures, section headings, etc.

Recommended strategies:

• selecting a seat furthest from the door and window and toward the front of the class, if possible;
• writing vocabulary words in colour on index cards with short definitions on the back;
• looking through vocabulary lists frequently, writing out the definitions again;
• asking a tutor to explain something again when they don't understand a point being made.
