See It, Learn It: Make Homework Come Alive for Visual Learners

Visual learners need to physically doodle, create mind maps, take notes, and generally translate learning through their own creative lens. Here, learn strategies for visual reinforcement that will help your child solidify what she's learned in the classroom — and retain it.

I wish I had read about these tips when at school.
One method that worked for me was to draw and write a poster. This activity made me organise my thoughts on that subject.
Having it on the wall enabled me to glance at the poster for a detail, or gaze at it and absorb it.
I soon realised that I could recall the picture in my mind then read off the details that I needed.

These days, I make my own calendars like a poster and have them beside my desk. They do not have each month on a new page, rather, they are one long timeline down the wall.

As soon as I saw a flowchart of a computer process – about fifty years ago – I have used them enthusiastically.
A flowchart enables anyone to quickly scan a process and spot any logical problems, or when more detail is required.
“How does that step result in that next step?”
“Oh, there is another step between them”
