That actually makes a lot of sense. According to my VARK learning preferences test, my results are high for visual learning. One of the reasons why I enjoy reading is because I visualize the events and characters in my mind's eye. In fact, I've disliked many book-to-movie adaptations because the actors didn't match my mental image of the characters. Does that make sense?

I'm thinking of using this tip to transform academic texts into characters to make them more engaging. Did you find this approach required more effort or did it actually make learning easier and more enjoyable?

I'm really hoping this approach will work for me because I'm starting to doubt whether I can succeed. The current education models don't support my preferred learning style at all, as they seem to be geared towards aural and read/write learners. It feels like these models are not designed for people like me who have a different way of processing and retaining information.
