Sometimes called visual/verbal or intuitive learners, these are kids with high verbal skills and an ability to learn concepts quickly--if you can keep their attention. The best motivation for these learners is to present the information in a clear and pleasing visual manner, then let them comment. These students want to be involved and allowing them to explain a concept in their own terms is a good way to keep them interested and make sure they remember the material. They also loathe repetition and rote learning, so try to use the language that forms mental images and challenges their imagination so they can mull it over on their own.
These students learn best by listening to material, then answering questions. They tend to think in a linear manner and are motivated by clear, precise language that's presented conversationally, with time for them to ask and answer questions. In later years, these are the kind of students who will record lectures and listen to them several times, so your presentation should be structured to lead from point A to point B without digressions or leaps to point C. They don't respond well to written information; they need information that's presented in a given order with similar language and without the introduction of new terms or concepts until earlier ones have been thoroughly explained. They also pick up cues on what's important through your voice and what you accentuate; they're generally good listeners and pay careful attention. Those cues are missing in written information and are likely to elude them. Use forceful and descriptive language to capture their attention and allow them to learn.
These students vastly prefer written information that they can absorb on their own. They respond very well to lists, outlines, graphs, charts and reading on their own and then being asked to write short essays or answer multiple-choice quizzes to show how well they have absorbed the information. Unlike visual learners, they prefer step-by-step learning and some level of repetition to allow them to remember the information in order.
Kinesthetic students learn by doing and tune out more abstract approaches to learning. They're motivated by real-life examples. Instead of teaching about money in the abstract for instance, having them "buy" items at an imaginary store will appeal to their way of learning. In all cases, making concepts concrete will appeal to them. Ask them how much money they will make per hour mowing a lawn if it takes them three hours and they're paid $15. Have them use examples from their family or from a favorite television show to exhibit that they have retained information. They will respond to new information if it's related to things that they're already intimately familiar with.
