Does your child learn best from pictures and images?

Do you need visual learning strategies to help your child learn?

You can use the visual learning strategies and activities listed below for teaching your child.

The list of visual learning strategies and activities below will provide you with great ideas for teaching your visual learner.

As you work through our multisensory lesson tutorial, select a Visual learning activity from the list below to add to your lesson plan . As you recall, in the previous step you selected an auditory activity for your multisensory lesson.

Even if you’re not working through the multisensory lesson tutorial, use this list of activities to teach your visual learner.

If your child is not a visual learner, she will still benefit from instruction that includes input from each learning modality. As you’ve learned in this multisensory teaching tutorial, using all of the senses helps learning.

Thinking about the lesson you are creating with this multisensory plan. Write down one of the visual learning strategies or activities listed below. You can also come up with or add your own ideas.

Visual Learning Strategies and Activities

Add the visual learning strategies or activities you’ve selected to your previously selected auditory learning activity. You’ll also add a kinesthetic learning activity and an activity for the tactile learning style on the next two pages. Adding an activity from each learning style helps build a multisensory lesson plan for your child’s optimal learning.

If your child has a visual learning style, and you missed the earlier section of this tutorial, you may want to go visit that page before continuing in this tutorial. It specifically talks about teaching visual learners using visual learning activities.

Educational Posters as a Visual Learning Strategy

Also, I want to add visual learning strategies using educational posters is a great way to provide picture-based learning. Use maps, math charts, posters of various species of animals, flowers, rocks, etc. Your visual learner will really appreciate visual content more than anything else. If you have a highly visual learner, seeing concepts and categories on a colorful wall poster can have a significant impact on learning.

In order to make it easier to find teaching tools, I created automatic search bar at the bottom of this page. For each school year, depending upon subject area, getting a poster or two is a great plan. The bar at the bottom of this page has a sampling of educational posters. If you’re interested, feel free to click on the posters’ search to see a much wider selection.

As mentioned on the prior page, multisensory instruction is at the heart of Orton-Gillingham reading programs designed to overcome dyslexia. In addition to reading programs for dyslexia, multisensory instruction helps reinforce learning for virtually every learner.
