Answer the following questions:

Which learning styles did all the children seem to enjoy and why?
Since, because they like the animals especially when they watch real
video it is interesting for children.

Why do you think the teacher incorporates a variety of learning styles

for the children?
Because, every child has different style to get the information and
understanding. Also, to not make children be bored from the lesson.

Notice which activities are repeated with a variety of learning styles e.g.
read a story, listen to a story, act the story, draw the story. Can you find
other examples e.g. math or science
The teacher always use bodily Kinesthetic , like come and write the
letter, cut and paste the word.

How can teachers improve student learning by using a range of

learning styles?
Have activity has more movement, make more practice with the
children.
