Students all learn in different ways and they often learn more than one way at a time. Students might learn by seeing, doing or hearing. People who learn by seeing are called visual learners. They like to read and see things on paper in order to absorb the knowledge in front of them.
To be a educator among these visually impaired children calls for a more dedication which will ensure that children will learn both just with the presence of books but with the aid of other instructional materials where in they can manipulate into. The resourcefulness of the teachers is very much necessarily to facilitate learning. More patience attitudes is also needed as a qualification.
In addition, a teacher should train visual learners to picture information in their heads. Create lists and diagrams to represent material they need to learn. When they try to recall information later, they can visualize the lists and pictures to remember the facts they learned. More so, teach them to spell by picturing words in their head. Visual learners should look at a word, look away, visualize the word and then write it down. They see to learn so showing them spelling words on paper helps them remember.
To maximize learning, make flash cards for visuals learners. Use colorful pens and different styles of writing. You can add photos or diagrams on the back to create a visual picture then encourage visual learners to study facts, memorize them and then write them down.
