Subject: strategies for teaching Author: jan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:32:28 11/19/10 Fri ACTIVE learning and teaching is a holistic approach that goes beyond multi-sensory. The word summarises a wide range of strategies and resources to support the whole child. A – Auditory/Aural Use visual prompts to back up the spoken word. Keep the amount of information to a minimum Teach some sort of physical movement to go with the sound Encourage repetition of what was said, rephrased in the pupils own words Tape reading books Put spellings on tapes C – Congratulations/colour Lots of positive feedback and praise. Encourage pupils to highlight difficult parts of the words. This provides 2 ways into the memory – colour and shape When copying from the board put a different coloured dot at the beginning of each line, focusing attention on relevant information Use coloured paper instead of white T – tool kit Set of highlighters Memory jogger cards – tailored for each pupil with key words that are often forgotten or key facts Reinforce the words with pictures drawn by the pupil Daily timetable in colour with pictures Blu tack for fiddling with! I – ICT/intervention programmes Computer based exercises are appealing Promotes independent learning Incorporates a multi-sensory approach Builds self-esteem and leads to success V – voice/visual Use the voice as another part of the tool kit. Saying a word aloud commits it to memory Use visualisation strategies Use card to blank out the surrounding text around a particular line that the pupil needs to concentrate on E – Environment/exercise/esteem Label resources using words, colour, or pictures Provide a pencil block with holes for disorganised children Establish routines for specific activities Position furniture and paper etc so that the child won’t have to swivel round Brain gym is beneficial to all children giving the brain a break and refresh learning, providing more focus Recognise strengths Give work that can be achieved but is challenging Teach pupils to think to promote independence Help pupils to recognise that they can achieve success [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
