If they are a Visual learner:

They have trouble following verbal directions, and rote memorization will not help. They need to see it.
Use photos and images. If you are want your Visual learning child to remember the password, have them look at it while practicing, seeing the letters and numbers will cement it in their mind.
Need your husband to pick up bread, milk and eggs? Text him a photo of the grocery store and emojis or pictures of a loaf of bread, a jug of milk, and carton of eggs.
Have them close their eyes and picture what they need to remember
Telling them the story with vivid, rich imagery is how they retain hearing the information
Doodling helps! Have your visual learner remember by drawing quick doodles of it.
When giving your Visual learner information, eliminate background distractions- even music

If they are Auditory Learners:

Ask them to repeat the info back to you
Remind them to repeat the information out loud to themselves throughout the day
Phonics and rhyming word games work well with Auditory learners
Books on tape and music while learning also works well with these types of learners
Have them repeat the information with their eyes closed
rote memorization works
Send your Auditory spouse important info via audio text messaging

If they are Kinesthetic learners:

Providing the info while they are engaged in physical activity helps them remember
Touch their arm or shoulder while giving them the info helps cement it in their minds
Having them act it out- need them to remember where you put the spare key? Have them physically practice coming home and getting it, all the way to unlocking the door and replacing the key.
Art is helpful- have them paint or draw the info they need to remember
Toss a tennis ball back with your learner while teaching- the physical activity helps them retain the info
Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. Whenever possible have them do it. You can talk about it all day long, but it will just flow right out and never stick.
