If you have a child who watches your every move when teaching or learns through reading, you can implement activities for the visual learner. Some teaching techniques include skits to teach history such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence, frequent trips to a museum and activities that involve drawing or writing.
You may have a student who loves to talk in your classroom and likes to be the center of attention. These students may be auditory learners. To work with these students, have them read funny stories, plays and funny poems aloud in the classroom. Create little skits. Allow students to create a speech for a book review. You can, also, implement more teacher and student interaction during lectures.
Kinesthetic learners love to work with their hands. They have to be involved and totally engaged in an activity. Teaching techniques that you can use to help these students learn include fun science projects, performing skits for math such as having a group of students demonstrate addition and subtraction by using objects. You can also perform skits for history, implement singing to learn new concepts and schedule field trips that include hands-on learning.
When you use different techniques, it's best to make sure that you balance the amount of teaching techniques that you use in the classroom for each learning style. No child's learning ability is the same. According to the Ann Zeise Homeschooling website, you should not force a particular learning or teaching technique that doesn't work for the child. Watch how the student learns in class. Review the student's grades and remember which technique helps each individual child do her best.
