• Have students read aloud or subvocalize (form the words without saying them out loud)
• Speak in even, measured tones
• Use music and rhythms to reinforce learning
• Encourage students to read first drafts of written work aloud
• Encourage students to tape "write" first drafts and/or tape test answers

TO CAPITALIZE ON KINESTHETIC (relating to movement) AND TACTILE (relating to touch) STRENGTHS:

• Use hands-on activities
• Use simulation and board games
• Pair students to work together on assignments
• Allow for frequent breaks from studying
• Change activities frequently
• Touch students on the arm or shoulder to re-focus attention
• Trace letters and words to learn spelling
• Use the computer (i.e., word processing spell checks)
• Memorize and drill for rote learning while walking or exercising
• Provide opportunities for touching and handling instructional materials (manipulatives)
• Use a calculator or abacus in math
• Use index cards rather than notebooks for notetaking
