17+ NEW TESTAMENT COME, FOLLOW ME RESOURCES FOR VISUAL LEARNERS
Come, Follow Me and Visual Learners studying the New Testament
There are so many resources available to help us study and learn from the New Testament with Come, Follow Me this year, especially as Visual Learners.
Are you a visual learner? Do you know a visual learner? Are your children, spouse, or class members visual learners? If so, here are some amazing resources you can use today to reach the visual learners in your life.
Visual Learners: Characteristics and Attributes
Before sharing all the resources, let’s review a few characteristics and attributes of our Visual Learners.
If you are a visual learner, you really like to see things like photographs, drawings, paintings, movies, maps, charts, and graphs. Having a visual helps add understanding and context to whatever you are learning. Visual learners did not always create art, but they really need to see things to learn.
While reading the scriptures, a visual learner may doodle, write notes, or watch a movie about the verses they are reading. Visual learners love to use wide margin scriptures and add quotes, pictures, or stickers in the margins.

Here are several resource available that will be great for Visual Learners. Keep in mind that most resources incorporate more than one learning style. This will be helpful to know since most families and classes include many different types of learners. Each resource will include a section of all the learning styles that are easily present in each resource.
