　　Different people have different ways of learning.

　　We call this your "learning style", and it's based on your senses.

　　To learn, you need to use your different senses, hearing, seeing, touching², etc, to bring information to your brain.

　　Now, most people use one of the senses more than the others.

　　Some people learn best by listening, they are called hearing learners.

　　And others learn best by reading or looking at pictures, they are called visual learners.

　　And some learn best by touching and doing things, they are called tactile learners.

　　Now scientists don't know why people use one sense more than the others, maybe the sense they use most just works best for them.
