Kinesthetic-Tactile Learning Styles

Learners have the ability to process and retain information in a way that allows them to understand the material. Learning styles guide the way people learn. We are all unique and different in our own way. This demonstrates that we all learn differently and use our own techniques and methods to gain knowledge.
