Teaching children is a demanding and exciting assignment.
There are a few tools and techniques that teachers have to introduce in their teaching style to become successful teachers of young learners.
I highly recommend parents to also be aware of these, so they can see if these techniques and tools are being used.
On top of these, children's teachers have to work a lot on the level of engagement, there must be empathy, the learning process must occur in a friendly environment and sessions can´t take too long, a maximum of 30 minutes.
Children love to see teachers' real objects. When you show them a pen, a pencil, an apple, or a banana they feel close to you because they recognize the objects that they also have at home. In a class about school supplies or food, children become happy if you show them all your real school supplies and real fruits.
You can work on simple content, such as:
Especially important to work on the alphabet, the colors, the first objects, and the words that the student is learning. You can also tell a story using flash cards or do a memory game, or a math game to teach the numbers. All that your imagination can think of.
I have animals, food, shapes, and rewards.
You can do this at home with barbecue sticks and images printed from the web. It’s quite easy and it will be very helpful in your classes.
You can have animals, vegetables, fruits, and actions.
These tools and techniques are very efficient and easy to apply in class, whether it is an in-person or online class.
