The objectives of this study were, 1) to examine the learning styles of the learners at elementary level 2) to make comparison of the results of the traditional instruction with visual learning style-based instruction. The study was delimited to the subject of Geography and the girl students of 6th class. Experimental research design was used in this study A learning style inventory was developed to examine the major learning styles of the learners. The students were divided into two groups on the basis of data collected through inventory, 1) control group and 2) experimental group. A pre-test comprising 30 questions was given to both groups. Then experimental group was taught using visual learning style-based instruction and control group was taught by using lecture method. After completin15 lessons a post- test was held for both groups. Then the data was analyzed by using t-test to make inferences. Null hypothesis was rejected at 5% level of significance and result was made that the visual learning style-based instruction has a significant effect on the academic achievement of the learners. The analysis of the data revealed that the academic achievement of the students of experimental group was raised by using the visual learning style-based instruction. So it was suggested that the consideration of visual learning style during teaching process is very important to make learning effective.
