Ways to explain new information
Connect to what they know
Structures -are simply ways to make learning meaningful for children

Changes the brain chemistry
Takes a priority over learning

For Visual and Kinesthetic Learners:
Let them construct
their spelling words
![Page 24: Making Learning Fun! Cynthia Weber. "Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c01f1a28abf838cd1c15/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
