Auditory learners learn concepts by hearing what others say and talking out loud. Opportunities to listen and discuss topics help them to be successful in the classroom. A weekly show and tell activity enhances their learning.
Using a tape recorder to learn basic math facts is an appropriate game for auditory learners. The teacher can record a series of math questions on a tape recorder, pausing 15 to 30 seconds after each one before saying the answer. Auditory learners will hear the information and try to beat the clock by giving the solution aloud.
Students must learn counting first before addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. A simple game for auditory learning is clapping out number sequences. The teacher asks students to close their eyes as she claps number sequences. She then asks students to describe number patterns they heard.
Auditory learners are excellent listeners and are keen to voice intonation and phonemic sounds, skills that are advantageous for building reading skills. Using books with audiotapes increases comprehension because the learner both hears the story and tracks the text, according to Primary Education Oasis.
Teachers should also encourage reading text aloud with a reading partner. Reading partners can write key concepts while listening to the story. After the reading is complete, the reading partners can create a game of "Jeopardy." While the listening partner says an answer, the reader answers with a question that matches the given answer.
