Famous Family Aural Learner Story:
My Mother and Grandmother tutored a kid who was looking at the distinct possibility at a third trip through eighth grade. He was having temper problems and was basically considered retarded (with all the baggage that included in a tiny inbred town thirty years ago).
Turned out that he could not learn from reading. The input just didn't work. So they developed a procedure where he'd read his text books or notes into a tape recorder, go outside and play with me for an hour, and then come in and play back the tape.
He graduated High School in the top 10% of his class and went on to be a big success (not just financially, a truly happy man). To this day he or his secretary reads material onto tapes and he plays them back.
