Oral language skills are at the core of overall school success. Children need to hear language and have opportunities to use it in meaningful context and situations. In other words, children need to be able to learn by interacting and communicating with others. Just as the sense of hearing is the means by which children acquire language, the other five senses also play a vital role in learning. In order for all children to reach their potential and succeed in school, teaching must address all five senses.
All children have the capacity to learn.
Some are audio learners- learning best by hearing. Others are visuals- needing to see concepts. Still others are kinesthetic-needing to be actively involved and experiencing what is being taught. It is up to the teacher to find what works best with each child. But, with a class of maybe 25 or more students, teaching to the individual needs can prove to be a demanding task.
