There are many theories that address many students' learning styles. One of them is called VAK. VAK theory was founded and developed by Richard Bandler, and John Grinder. This theory divides students into three types according to their learning styles: visual learners, auditory learners, and kinesthetic learners (Al-Takriti, 1997).

 Discussion
I was surprised when I read this. I never thought about it this way about how their is different learning styles. I do agree with Richard Bandler and John Grinder on their theories. When  I was reading about each category separately, it really opened up my eyes. In each category, the children have their pros and cons. 
 When I did my senior project, I went to a pre-k classroom and taught for the whole day. When I was reading about it, I thought back to when I was teaching and I remember seeing all the students doing certain activities and you can break the students into these categories but I never thought of it that way until I read their theories.

 I chose these pictures because they are pictures of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning.
