The children draw a story in small booklet. The children act a story.	The children made the UAE flag by different materials such as, papers, cloths and pipes.

Answer the following questions:

  ●     Which learning styles did all the children seem to enjoy and why?

          Kinesthetic, I think the children like this learning style because they have their own opportunity to explore something or to create their own work. Also, the children like the tactile activities that help them to understand and to enjoy.

     ●     Why do you think the teacher incorporates a variety of learning styles for the children?

I think the teacher use several of learning styles for the children because each child has some intelligent. For example, in my class some child his name Nasser and he has musical intelligent the appropriate learning style for him is auditory. Also, to scaffold the children's learning. As will contextualized their knowledge by teach them in several learning styles.

●     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

English

Auditory: Listen to Jolly Phonics for example (S, A, T).

Visual: Watch the flash cards of each letter (S, A, T).

Kinesthetic: When the Ss watch each letter, they write it in air. Also, they do some special action for each letter.

●     How can teachers improve student learning by using a range of learning styles?

 When the teacher identifying a student’s learning style and then providing activity with that style contributes to more effective learning.
