Unlike kinetic and visual styles, Cindy Chanin, founder and director at Rainbow EDU Consulting & Tutoring, explains that auditory learning is a learning style in which students most successfully comprehend material through hearing and sound. “These learners respond best to aural information and directions, such as listening to an audiobook or engaging in class discussion,” she tells Today’s Parent. “They typically enjoy music, are strong conversationalists and storytellers, and express emotion verbally, among other traits.”
