Learning styles

Kinesthetic learners learn best when they...
use movement exploration - adding/subtracting/prepositional concepts can be taught on monkey bars
have children clap or tap out numbers, syllables, walk patterns of words
use number lines on the floor - child can use heavy objects along the line for more physical feedback
use sandpaper letters/felt letters, writing in sand/clay, 3-D materials
child may need to talk to self for motor feedback
use all manipulatives possible
do lots of things with eyes shut using 3-D letters
use lots of writing - may need to introduce with stencils
supply concrete objects for counting sequencing, establishing patterns seeing similarities and differences
