[SENco-forum] Primary Review -

I agree with Sharon.

I just know -  from experience - that the more I target a child's preferred
way of learning - the easier the initial learning will be.  And that ways
they do not initially select - will need to be worked at -  because they
will be needed for satisfactory learning in the mainstream classroom.

And my methods are trial and error - and I am afraid now - not tested at
all!  Just done!

And if I can do it as a game - or something different - so much the better.

But I know that I will need to target A - V - K - individually and in
combinations for the speediest learning for my students.

Regards

Ruth

Sharon, I think I'm being very thick here, but I don't understand this
statement at all.  Are you talking about 'visual, tactile & kinaesthetic
*memory*' when you refer to 'equivalents'.  What formative assesment are you
using?

No, it's not the Spanish Inquisition - I'm just trying to comprehend...
