Answer the following questions:

1. Which learning styles did all the children seem to enjoy and
why?
The students enjoyed the activities that were visual and they were
able to observe something from the activity. This is because the
children loved to talk about their observations later on when they
went back to the class.
2. Why do you think the teacher incorporates a variety of
learning styles for the children?
The teacher incorporates a variety of learning styles because the
students in her class have different styles of learning. Also, when
they experience the same topic in different ways the students are

more able to recal what is in the topic later on when they are asked.
Moreover, when different learning styles are incorporated the
students enjoy the class more and this enjoyment leads to a better
concentration in the lesson.
3. Notice which activities are repeated with a variety of
learning styles e.g. read a story, act the story, draw the
story. Can you find other examples e.g. math or science.
When the students learned new vocabulary words the teacher made
five activities to make sure the students understand the words.
Group one had to match the words with their meaning, group two
drew pictures about the word, group three wrote sentences about
each words, group four had to use a dictionary and find the
meanings, and group five read the story that had those vocabulary
words in it. In the next class the groups switched the activities. So,
all the groups did all the activities.
4. How can teachers improve student learning by using a range
of learning styles?
The teacher can integrate as much of learning styles as possible in
their lessons. This is because the more senses are involved in the
learning process the more the student is able to understand the
topic.
