Visual learners grasp ideas through seeing.These learners like visual enhancements such as slides, pictures, graphs, videos, demonstrations and the like. He or she might have a vivid imagination, and possess the ability to focus visually on the teacher for a long period of time. If you were to ask the first thing thought of when hearing the word "dog", it might be a mental picture of the complete animal. Visual learners can see the information they learn in their mind like a movie picture.

At home, providing plenty of visual stimuli can greatly help learning. Resource/picture books, documentaries, the library and more will be a useful benefit. For example, let's say you want to introduce your child to origami. As well as providing a how-to book, perhaps actively watching a video or instructor actually going through the steps will help instill the concept in your child's mind.

Want another example? Perhaps you want to teach your child mixed addition. Print out a number of examples and actively sit down walk your child through the adventure of solving equations. By visually watching you perform the necessary steps first, your child should have an easier time doing problems alone.
