Learning takes many forms. Each of us have favorite ways of taking in information. The following 3 are common for many students. To reach them, you will need to vary\u00a0the way you present information so you incorporate more than\u00a0one way to learn during each activity<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Verbal-Linguistic Learners <\/strong><\/p>\n

These learners take in information through language. They are the talkers, the kids who carry on conversations under their breaths. They\u00a0ask lots of questions when they are learning something new. They love to share their ideas and have no problem speaking to others. They love words, like to write and read and may follow you around telling you about something that happened in their day or on a break; “Can I tell you about my new pet?”.\u00a0 To engage them, have them share their ideas and projects aloud as well as restating the objectives of a task.<\/p>\n

Visual-Spatial Learners <\/strong><\/p>\n

Images and imagination are their favorite things. They say “Oh, I see”, “Want to see my new book?”,\u00a0an indication that they take things through reading and observing the world around them. They may have an interest in the art or drawings related to a task. Let them start with the drawing and then<\/em> do the writing. It helps them focus and their final product will be more complete.<\/p>\n

Kinesthetic Learners <\/strong><\/p>\n

When students wiggle around, want to stand to work and\u00a0need lots of space, they are learners who just want to ‘do it’. “Can I start now?”, “Can I see it (interpret that to often mean ‘can I hold it)?”\u00a0 They want to engage with objects and activities because they use their body to help them take in information. They love to volunteer to act out ideas and\u00a0find and touch the river on the map. They seem impatient, but they are anxious to “do it” so they can begin processing to learn\u00a0more about the task.<\/p>\n

When you introduce a new activity.\u00a0 Use meaningful language, show them images or the text and <\/strong>allow them to touch and do something related to the task. You’ll reach more students when you try to accommodate these 3 kinds of learners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
