Study Tips for Visual Learners • Make flashcards of key information that needs to be memorized. Draw symbols and pictures on the cards to facilitate recall. Use highlighter pens to highlight key words and pictures on the flashcards. Limit the amount of information per card, so your mind can take a mental picture of the information. • Mark up the margins of your textbook with key words, symbols, and diagrams that help you remember the text. Use highlighter pens of contrasting colors to color code the information. • When learning mathematical or technical information, make charts to organize the information. When a mathematical problem involves a sequence of steps, draw a series of boxes, each containing the appropriate bit of information in sequence. • Use large square graph paper to assist in creating charts and diagrams that illustrate key concepts. • Use the computer to assist in organizing material that needs to be memorized. Using word processing, create tables and charts with graphics that help you to understand and retain course material. Use spreadsheet and database software to further organize material that needs to be learned. • As much as possible, translate words and ideas into symbols, pictures, and diagrams. • Draw a map of events in history or draw scientific process. Make outlines of everything! • Copy what’s on the board. • Ask the teacher to diagram. • Diagram sentences! • Take notes, make lists. • Watch videos. • Outline reading. • Use highlighters, circle words, underline.
