Identifying, Nurturing, Living and Working
with Visual-Spatial Learners

Visual-spatial learners remember what they see, but forget what they hear.

Visual-spatial learners are attracted to puzzles, mazes and building with blocks, LEGO, K'Nex, and even just a roll of tape!

Visual-spatial learners have a wonderful sense of space, but not necessarily a very good sense of time.

Visual-spatial learners have a wild imagination, are "outside-the-box thinkers" and can think of numerous solutions to a single problem.

Visual-spatial learners excel in spatial tasks but may have difficulty with spelling, math facts and organizational skills.

Where our left hemisphere sees the parts to the whole,our right hemisphere understands the whole, big picture. Neither perspective is wrong or of less importance but only the left has been rewarded in classrooms and on standardized tests.
