How do auditory learners learn?

We as educators have a responsibility to ensure that we understand just how our students learn. From this knowledge we can incorporate the correct strategies into our lessons and resources. Three common learning types include kinesthetic, visual and auditory. The auditory learner is characterized by the following traits:
-Good recollection of what they hear,
-Difficulty remembering things that they read,
-Difficulties in reading and writing,
-Have difficulty reading facial and body language,
(S. Wurtele, 2008)

-As educators, we can make use of the following strategies in our planning to accommodate the auditory learning style:
-Record lectures of yourself reading the important parts of the notes,
-Employ the buddy system so that the auditory learner can talk about the main points or ideas from a lesson or reading,
-Use flashcards for the auditory learner and have them read it aloud.
-Read aloud,
-Make sure the audio component of the lecture is as clear and captivating.
