In order to teach children of any age a teacher must understand how they develop and learn. However, the teacher must spend a lot of time with the students in order to come to a conclusion about their learning styles. Each student is different in learning style and speed, therefore it takes time for a teacher to come up with proper lesson plans to go with the class. Each child is unique. Therefore, your lesson plans must reflect the individual make up of your classroom.
Some students are better auditory learners while some learn better by reading text.
This must be taken into account while writing and executing lesson plans in your classroom. It must be noted, however, that you can not make concessions for every individual in your class in the best interest of your class. The best way that I have found to combat these discrepancies in my brief teaching experience and from more experienced teachers is to encompass several strategies of teaching. Meaning that if you are going to give notes then explain the notes as you give them, have them write the notes down, and follow along in the book so they can read aloud too. This way the class can hear it, read it, and write it.
