Auditory learners understand new ideas and concepts best when they hear the information.
If you peek into a classroom, they're the ones who learn a tune in a snap just from hearing their teacher sing it, or who can follow directions to the letter after being told only once or twice what to do. Other auditory learners concentrate better at a task when they have music or white noise in the background, or retain new information better when they talk it out. If you haven't already, take our learning styles quiz to find out for sure if your child is an auditory learner. Knowing how your child likes to learn and process information is an invaluable tool that you can use to help your child do better in school and develop a love of learning. When learning about a new math concept, for example, an auditory learner will remember the information if she can listen to the teacher explain it or sing it and then answer her questions about it.
