Auditory learner: Prefers to get information by listening Difficulty to follow written direction Difficulty with reading Difficulty with writing Inability to read/interpret body language and face expression	Use tapes for reading and for class and lecture notes Discussion is super effective Always ask and answer orally with peer rather than just simply answering written question
