I prefer to read and do projects. But I think it's important to mix learning modalities. While the idea that different people may be more or less effective with different learning styles seems reasonable, I don't think you want to focus too much one method. As an earlier poster said different modalities have different strengths. But beyond that I think there's a synergistic effect when you combine modalities. There's insight you get by comparing what you learned via different techniques that you can't achieve by using one method alone.
