VARK. An acronym.
A name, a label, for four different learners.
Visual learners. They are lucky.
A single glance then bam! It's cemented in their minds forever.
Auditories. Be scared of conversing with them.
They'll remember it longer than you ever could.
R. Reading and writing. Loved by teachers worldwide.
Hand them notes and there you'll find a perfect student.
Lastly, Kinetic. The words: watched, heard, read, it all goes over their heads.
Give them something to do with their hands however, and they'll love you always.
School? Where does school fit into it?
School. A place dedicated to learning.
It excels in teaching VAR learners.
K? What about the K? No, no K. They always forget about the K.
