...VARK Learning styles: Read/write learning style Name: Institution: VARK Learning styles: Read/write learning style Overview of the read/write learning style The read/write learning style mainly makes the use of printed words to receive and convey learning information. Using the style enables one skill to become the input of another through the transfer of the ability to read to that of writing. The skills transfer is integral in raising the awareness of how the structural components involved in learning are shared in both reading and writing modalities (VARK, 2016). One of the reasons a leaner may choose to embrace the read/write learning style is because it facilitates cognitive concept mastery since it brings out the aspect of making sense of what is read through fixing it in memory by writing it down (Crawford, 2005). Therefore, the method strengthens the learning quality by incorporating both the senses of sight and touch. Pointed out herein is how personal reading/writing strategies compare to the VARK preferred read/write learning style strategies and how the awareness of the individual learning style (read/write style) influences teaching and learning. Preferred learning strategies for read/write learning style * Identification of the item or subject that require a study. * Development of learning goals and questions or hypotheses with regard to the subject of study. * Identification of the sources from which the study will derive concepts from.

...Examination of Different Learning Styles Cyndi Gamble Grand Canyon University The Vark Analysis: an examination of different learning styles This paper is an examination of the awareness of the learning styles as explained by the VARK website. Although there are four learning styles, this paper will focus on the read/write learning style. It will examine the preferred learning strategies, and recommended strategies for this style. It will also discuss how awareness of these styles and strategies influence not only the learner, but the instructor as well. Although some people may have a “multimodal” learning style, they will usually score higher in one of the four categories, and tend to use that style more often. Read/Write Learning style People who fall into the read/write learning style category tend to take in knowledge through the written word. Read/writers find meaning in words. These learners fit well into conventional learning environments with traditional study techniques. They appreciate instructors who articulate well with expertise and understanding of language and grammar (Claire & Chris, 2014). Read/writers like text in any form or format. Simply put, read/writers “learn best through words” ("Learning styles," n.d., p. 1). And not surprisingly, they enjoy reading both for learning and pleasure. Preferred/Identified Learning Strategies The written word is the preferred learning strategy for learners in the read/write category ("VARK,"...

...Learning Style: The Key to Success Desiree Little Grand Canyon University: NRS-429V March 3, 2014 Learning Style: The Key to Success What if one could find out his or hers way of learning? It’s possible by taking the VARK® (2011) assessment. Knowing ones learning style can help learners understand the presented information in a way that is easier for them. VARK is an acronym for visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic (VARK®, 2011). Knowing ones learning style can be the key to a successful learning experience. Read/Write The read/write learning style means that he or she prefers to learn by reading directions or material and by writing things down, such as note-taking. In my case, this is the style that the VARK® assessment identified me as. Read/write learners enjoy reading, often take excessive and verbatim notes, work best in quiet areas, prefer to work alone, won’t hesitate to look up a word in a dictionary, and love articulate teachers who put a lot of information into sentences and notes (The Study Gurus, 2013). The read/write learner is fairly common and may be missed as they’ll be in a corner writing notes! Preferred Learning Strategies Preferred learning strategies are ways that a learner likes their information presented to them. My preferred learning strategies are the following: * * Reading handouts * Reviewing lists * Taking notes * Re-writing notes * Listening to lecture * Using tape recorder The above strategies...

...There is no need to tell how happy I am by facing such an inspiring subject by comparing and contrasting two of the essays that I have read. Malcolm X “Learning to Read , with Frederick Douglass “Learning to Read and Write”. Both Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X set a part an extensive amount of details to describing the process by which they learned to read and write, and, as important, the obstacles that they they confronted. Douglass explains that he had to acquire his reading and writing skills in secretive and, in one of the Important quotes from “Learning to Read and Write” regarding literacy, it said, “he had no regular Teacher” (para .1), and his owner and his mistress consider slavery and education to be incompatible, Douglass equates illiteracy with living in a” mental darkness” (para.1) and, from an early age he devotes Himself to learn first how to read and then how to write by the help of the young white boys. Just as with X, Douglass thrills at the challenges of learning to read and write and, sees this as part of the road to his salvation from “mental darkness” that once enslave him. Similary, X responds responds to his passion to learn to read and write by creating the conditions that made such learning possible despite some challenging circumstances. While in prison, X teaches himself to read by going through dictionary page by page. In order to remember what he has learned, he copied every single page. He explained in one of the...

...“The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” How does this Sherman Alexie essay compare to the Frederick Douglass and Malcolm X essays we read earlier in the semester? What implications does Alexie invoke with his use of the Superman imagery? In comparing the three essays, “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie, to “Learning to Read and Write” by Frederick Douglass and “Learning to Read” by Malcolm X, one immediately recognizes that all three authors place high importance on the value of reading and writing. When one has the ability to read and write, one has the ability to achieve many goals. One also has the ability to make a difference in the lives of others and society. In “Learning to Read” by Frederick...

...created by Neil Fleming who taught about teaching and learning. VARK is an acronym for Visual, Aural, Read/Write, Kinesthetic. This survey can bring awareness to people about different learning strategies by offering simple information on studying tips. This analysis paper will focus on Sylvia Arias’s learning style, preferred learning style, and identified learning style using the VARK questionnaire. Learning Styles Sylvia’s current learning style is to read the learning material over and over until she understands it. When she does not know a word’s meaning, she uses an on-line dictionary and thesaurus for reference. If she does not understand the reading material after reviewing it several times, she will refer to the internet to look up other learning sources pertaining to the subject that may explain in a simpler way. Memorization has been a learning style of Sylvia’s but will only last temporarily. If she writes down what she is learning with notes and key words, this helps her to remember her subject material and it will be stored in her brain. In nursing school she studied by making note cards with pictures that was helpful for her. Tape recording class lectures and listening while driving or at home has been another learning style. Preferred Learning Strategy Sylvia’s preferred learning strategy is the read/write strategy without other strategies involved. She prefers to read the material and understand it the first time. In...
