The Framework
POWS is a framework that tries to cover the main ways people learn: visually, verbally, kinesthetically and holistically/contextual.
To make these terms more practical I have called them: Pictures, Objects, Words and Stories or POWS.
The aim of POWS is to provide a resource that teachers can use to plan lessons that cover different learning styles.
Pictures
Pictures are great for visual learners.
Pictures can include: photographs, illustrations, diagrams, video etc.
Objects
Objects are great for kinethetic learners.
Objects can include: Multi-link, Numicon, Weighing Scale, Algebra Tiles etc.
Words
Words are great for verbal learners.

Stories provide a context to the learning and can include: real world examples, imaginary scenarios, acting it out and games.
