Kinesthetic learning (also known as tactile learning) is a learning style in which learning takes place by the student carrying out a physical activity, rather than listening to a lecture or watching a demonstration. People with a kinesthetic learning style are also commonly known as "do-ers". The Fleming VAK/VARK model (one of the most common and widely used categorizations of the various types of learning styles)[1] categorized learning styles as follows:
Visual learners
Auditory learners
Reading- or writing-preference learners
Kinesthetic learners[2]

On January 23, 2012, researchers and education thought leaders convened in Washington D.C. for Handwriting in the 21st Century? An Educational Summit to discuss research and opinions regarding the role of handwriting instruction in the 21st century classroom. (Watch videos of the researchers' presentations to learn more.) Now, just over a year later, a major shift in focus about the role of handwriting instruction in 21st century schools has occurred since the Summit. A white paper is available which highlights the results of the summit.
Every student learns and develops at his or her own pace. Education is not about how fast a student can acquire information. Instead, it's about developing useful strategies individuals can use to process and integrate life's experiences in order to achieve whatever they choose to do with the time they are given.
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) launched the first "Read Captions Across America" campaign in 2006 as a part of the National Education Association's (NEA) annual "Read Across America" initiative. This event is the nation's largest reading celebration, focusing our attention on motivating children to read in addition to their mastering basic skills. Bill Stark explains what captions are, how they act as an instant reading incentive, and what reading benefits can occur from the use of captioning. The DCMP's support to teachers, librarians, and others in making the activity a success is also overviewed.
Teachers, when you are watching a video at school...turn the captions on to increase reading abilities.
Parents, when watching TV at home with your kids, turn the captions on to increase reading skills.
