As the average class is made up of learners with a variety of styles, having activities which focus on a range
of particular styles can help learners who are struggling with new vocabulary, grammar or even learning
to deal with abstract concepts within a language. This means that rather than isolate these learners, we should
remember this comment from Jeremy Harmer:
‘The moment we realise that a class is composed of individuals (rather than being some kind of unified whole),
we have to start thinking about how to respond to those students individually so that while we may frequently
teach the group as a whole, we will also, in different ways, pay attention to the different identities we are faced
with.’4
as well as this observation by Pat Burke Guild and Stephen Garger who state that ‘it is possible to strive
for uniform outcomes but to intentionally diversify the means for achieving them’.5
There are also several misconceptions about styles. No style is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’; however, focusing upon one
type of style or another may make it easier for a particular student to develop a particular skill in a foreign
language. They do not necessarily indicate competence but they may help some learners to improve in certain
areas more easily than in others. Learners, however, must learn to be adaptable, and no exercise or activity
is designed for only one type of learner. When learning a language, there is often an element of each of the
four styles present although the activities may appeal more to one type than to another. The activities are also
designed to help learners step out of their comfort zones, which is often done through the addition of another
style or element to an activity.

Different Learning Styles
For the reasons listed above, the activities in this book have been created to appeal in particular to four types
of learners: the visual, the auditory, the kinaesthetic motoric and the kinaesthetic emotional. The following
gives a more detailed description of each style of learning:
1
Visual learners prefer to see things written down and tend to learn through illustrations, mind
maps and other visual aids. The use of highlighters for underlining important words and phrases
is a frequently used technique for this learning style. It is necessary for these learners to extract
information from a text and relearn it in a different order.
2
Auditory learners like speaking or listening tasks in equal measure and also love class discussions.
They sometimes need to think aloud in order to clarify and confirm new information. Less attention
is paid to note-taking, so they often require encouragement in this area. As they learn sequentially,
they also need to relearn information in a different order to that in which it is presented.
3
Kinaesthetic motoric learners like to try things out for themselves and enjoy learning through physical
movement. They enjoy card and board games or working with real objects. They may often become
restless after a relatively short time but work well either through stimulation of their sense of touch
or through movement. Practice of the other skills is essential. This is best achieved through the
inclusion of activities which combine these skills with movement.
4
Kinaesthetic emotional learners require a sense of comfort and familiarity in the classroom.
They like to connect learning with their personal feelings and experiences. They enjoy being creative
and finding their own reasons for learning a particular subject. They may need to learn to pay less
attention to their emotions and work on the other skills through activities which may incorporate
emotions to a lesser extent.

Unit 1 Time out!
1 Reading: Lucky Mbele Student’s Book p 10
Activity: mind map
Style: visual learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Copy the MIND MAP on p 9 so that each individual student has their own copy and instruct
them to read the text about Mbele in the Student’s Book (p 10).
• Ask students to complete MIND MAP A by adding information to the relevant category.
• Check the answers with the class.
Follow-up:
• Ask students to complete the blank MIND MAP B with information about themselves.
• Ask students to work with a partner and compare their MIND MAPS by asking questions.
Using other styles:
• The introduction to the activity is purely visual, while the follow-up involves the students’ kinaesthetic
emotional skills by encouraging them to talk about the information they have written down.
Answer key: 1 hobbies: painting, photography 2 future dream: be a well-known artist 3 free-time
activities: spend time with friends, go to beach, go to cinema, go to cafés 4 sports: swimming, football,

• Following this, they walk around the classroom and tell the rest of the group something about themselves.
• They ask one another questions and try to remember the responses.
Follow-up:
• Ask individual students to report back on the information they heard from the last person they spoke to.
Using other styles:
• The activity is mostly an auditory one as they are required to speak and listen to each other
and remember information without taking notes. It also uses visual skills in order to make sentences
from the vocabulary provided, and kinaesthetic motoric skills as a result of the classroom
interaction.
Answer key: Students’ own answers.

• Copy and hand out the CHART on p 12 with gapped sentences and ask students to complete it.
• Ask students to read their sentences out to their partners, who make notes on what they hear.
• Students discuss the sentences and find the points that they have in common.
Follow-up:
• Ask students to make two sentences about themselves and to tell them to their partners.
• They may ask questions but they can’t write anything down.
• Ask them to report to another pair on the most interesting information they have heard about their partner.
Using other styles:
• This is primarily an auditory activity, especially in the memory task that takes place in the closing stages
of the activity. The introduction to the activity involves note-taking, which is a useful visual skill to learn.

Unit 2 Look at me!
1 Reading: My Job Student’s Book p 26
Activity: information cards
Style: kinaesthetic motoric learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Copy and cut up the CARDS on p 18 (enough for each group of students).
• Put students into groups of 12 and give each student one card.
• Explain that they have to read and remember the information on the card.
• Ask them to turn the card face down on their desks and talk to the remainder of the group. They
need to find the person looking for or offering the job which matches the information on their card.
• They are then able to consult their cards and check that they have made the right choice.
Follow-up:
• Have the students form pairs from the above exercise (the person making the job offer and the job
seeker) and write a short job description.
• This can either be submitted as homework or checked in class.
Using other styles:
• Movement around the classroom at the start of the activity activates the kinaesthetic motoric style
of learning. It also uses auditory skills. Finally, visual and auditory skills are employed to write
the job description.
Answer key: The matching cards are in the same place on the page (top left, top middle, top right, etc.).

3 Grammar 1: past simple Student’s Book p 29
Activity: silly answers
Style: kinaesthetic motoric learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Copy and cut up the CARDS on p 19 (one set for each group).
• Put students into small groups of 4–6 and give each a set of CARDS turned upside-down in a pile.
• Ask them to turn a card over and explain to the group why they did a particular activity at a certain
time. They should use phrases like: last night, last weekend, a month ago, at the weekend, in March,
yesterday, etc.
• Tell them to try to think of funny or silly reasons. (Tell them that the answers I don’t know., I don’t
remember. are forbidden, otherwise they will all end up using them as the easiest ways to complete
the task).
Follow-up:
• When students have finished this stage, they work as a group to write a story in order to recycle some
of the information from the previous activity.
• Students can either give their stories to the teacher, read them aloud in class or give them to another
group for peer correction.
Using other styles:
• The activity is kinaesthetic motoric as it involves using cards (manipulatives). Other styles employed
are auditory, as there is a requirement to speak to other group members and remember their stories,
and visual, as the vocabulary is recycled in the story-writing phase.
Answer key: Students’ own answers.

• One student then comes to the front of the classroom and thinks of a person in the room.
• The others ask him/her no more than twenty yes/no questions in order to try and guess who it is.
• If someone guesses who it is, he/she comes to the front and thinks of another person.
Follow-up:
• The teacher assigns a member of the class to each individual student, who then writes a description
of them. These can be hung up in the class for students to guess who is who.
Using other styles:
• The activity is auditory as it involves speaking and listening. Visual and kinaesthetic emotional
skills are also employed as students have to discuss personality traits and then write a description
of someone in the class using the vocabulary provided.
Answer key: Students’ own answers.

7 Vocabulary 2: shopping words Student’s Book p 66
Activity: cooperative reading text
Style: auditory learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Copy and give out TEXT A and TEXT B on p 39 to students A and B. Copy and give out the
FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS to each student.
• Students work in pairs. They read their gapped texts to each other. Each text is lacking different elements.
• They fill in the texts and then compare them.
Follow-up
• Students work together to answer the FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS.
Using other styles:
• Initially, the activity requires auditory skills as students have to speak and listen carefully to each
other in order to write down the correct words. The next stage requires visual skills in order to ensure
the correct words were written down and to check spelling. Visual skills are needed to answer
the comprehension questions too. The kinaesthetic emotional aspect is employed in the final stage
of the text, which contains questions regarding personal habits.
Answer key:
When I do the shopping, I often spend a lot of money. I am often surprised when I’m standing at the till
and the cashier gives me my receipt. However, when I see how full my trolley is, I understand why it cost
so much. Certain items cost more than others, and sometimes I see things on the shelves that I think

week but I hardly ever buy bottles of water as we drink the water from the tap. This weekend I need
to buy a jar of olives and a tin of tomatoes. When I go shopping, I never buy bars of chocolate
or cans of cola but I know that many people do. Sometimes my teenage kids do the shopping
but they usually need to get the money from me because they don’t earn any money themselves.
I think it’s good that they have the chance to do the shopping because I hope it teaches them
to be careful and to save money when they shop. Someday, when they are older, they will have jobs
and pay rent, so I think it makes sense if they learn now about how to be sensible when buying things.

When I _______________________, I often spend a lot of money. I am often surprised when I’m
standing at the _______________________ and the cashier gives me my _______________________.
However, when I see how full my trolley is, I understand why it cost so much. Certain items cost
more than others, and sometimes I see things on the shelves that I think we might need, such
as a _______________________ or a carton of orange juice. I _______________ a loaf of bread every

weekend I need to buy a _______________________ and a tin of tomatoes. When I go shopping, I never
buy _______________________ or cans of cola but I know that many _______________________ do.
Sometimes my teenage kids _______________________ but they usually need to get the money from me
because they don’t _______________________ themselves. I think it’s good that they have the chance to do
the shopping because I hope it teaches them to be careful and _______________________ when they shop.
Someday, when they are older, they will have jobs and pay rent, so I think it makes sense if they learn now
about how to be sensible when buying things.

Activity: description of a place to live
Style: auditory learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Copy and cut up the ROLE CARDS and FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS on p 43, one set for each group of three.
• Put students into groups of three.
• Ask them to read the information on their cards and to tell the others about it, using complete
sentences. The rest of the group try to remember the information they have heard.
Follow-up:
• Students discuss the FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS.
• They can either report back verbally on these or write their answers down.
Using other styles:
• The activity begins with the use of auditory skills as students have to produce full sentences based
on notes, and remember what the other members of the group say. They continue with the use
of auditory skills by discussing the living environments, but they also use kinaesthetic emotional
skills to talk about likes and dislikes. They need to employ visual skills if they choose to write
the answers.
Answer key: Students’ own answers.

Steps:
• Copy and cut up the CARDS: STORY STRIPS on p 51, one set for each group.
• Put students into small groups and give each group a set of CARDS.
• Instruct students to put the dominoes in order to tell the story of ‘The Ghost of Niedzica’.
Follow-up:
• Students take turns reading the stages of the story on the strips.
• Students create their own ending to the story.
• They can either write it down or tell it to the rest of the group.
Using other styles:
• The activity uses kinaesthetic motoric skills while putting the story strips in order as well as visual
skills as the students need to read and comprehend the logical completion of sentences. Finally,
auditory and visual skills are utilised in the follow-up stage when reading the story aloud
and auditory ones when discussing possible endings. Visual skills are used if they choose to write
the story down.

3 Grammar 1: demonstratives Student’s Book p 97
Activity: four in a row
Style: visual learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Put the students into pairs and give each pair a GAME SHEET on p 52 and a dice.
• Students decide who will be ‘X’ and who will be ‘O’.
• Students take turns rolling the dice and choosing a sentence to complete with either this, that, these
or those from the column which corresponds to the number they have rolled. If the completed
sentence is correct, they mark their sentence with ‘X’ or ‘O’. This sentence may no longer be chosen by
either player.
• If they roll a 5, they miss a turn and if they roll a 6, they can choose any sentence.
• The first person to get four boxes in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally) is the winner.
Follow-up:
• When they have finished, they complete any incomplete sentences.
• Students then talk to their partners and make sentences using this, that, these and those about things
in the classroom.
• The other student tries to guess the item which is being referred to.
Using other styles:
• The activity is visual as students need to decide which box to choose in order to get four boxes in a row
(and they also have to read sentences in order to complete them). The kinaesthetic motoric element
is activated when rolling the dice. An auditory aspect is added at the end of the activity when, working
as a pair, they complete any outstanding sentences and when making their own sentences.
Key:
1 this, 2 that, 3 these, 4 those, 5 those, 6 this, 7 that, 8 these, 9 that, 10 these, 11 this, 12 those,

5 Speaking: talking about your town, giving directions, Student’s Book p 99
checking understanding
Activity: giving directions
Style: auditory learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Copy and cut up the ROLE CARDS on p 54.
• Give each student a ROLE CARD and explain that they either need to ask how to get somewhere
or to give directions.
• Students have to find the individual who will be able to help them.
• The CARDS have useful words on them which they can use to form questions.
• Students should be encouraged to first construct their questions or directions before they begin
speaking together.
Note: If you have fewer than 20 students, make sure there are an adequate number of matching CARDS.
If you have more than 20 students, question and/or answer CARDS will be duplicated.
Example:
A I’m looking for a place to draw out/change some money. Can you help me?
B Sorry, I can’t. I don’t know. OR
B Yes, of course. Go straight on …, then turn right. The bank is opposite the corner shop.
Follow-up:
• When they have finished the role play, they take turns asking and explaining to each other how to get
to different places in town using the vocabulary on the CARDS.
Using other styles:
• The activity is auditory as they need to make questions and to understand the answers. It also uses
the kinaesthetic motoric aspect as they begin the game by moving about the classroom.
Answer key: Role play, students’ own answers.
6 Vocabulary 2: buildings in towns, phrasal verbs and adjectives Student’s Book p 100
Activity: vocabulary triangle
Style: auditory learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Copy and cut up the WORDS / DEFINITIONS CARDS on p 55.
• Put the students into groups of three and give each of them one WORDS / DEFINITIONS CARD
(A, B or C).
• Instruct them to read aloud the words on their cards to each other and match them with the correct
definitions.
• Student A begins and reads the first word in the WORDS column.
• Students B and C look for the correct definition in the DEFINITIONS column.
• When they find it, they read it out and put a tick next to it.
• That student then reads the word to the left of the definition in the WORDS column and the other two
students search for the definition.
• The game is over when Student A reads out the definition at the top of the DEFINITIONS column.
Follow-up:
• When the students have finished the activity, they discuss which of these places can be found in their
town and what they can do there or what the places are like, e.g. We can work out at the sports
centre, and it is relaxing.
Using other styles:
• The activity is primarily an auditory one as students have to listen carefully to their classmates when
they are reading out their words. They also need their visual skills when searching for the correct
definition. In the follow-up activity they use their kinaesthetic emotional skills to describe places
using the adjectives provided.

Activity: completing sentences
Style: visual learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Copy and give out the CHART on p 62 to each pair of students.
• Students work in pairs and complete the sentences, using zero, first and second conditional structures.
It is important that they use the correct tenses.
• Students then write their answers on a separate piece of paper (in random order, only the parts
they have made up – without sentence numbers or stem sentences) and swap them with another pair.
• Each pair tries to match an answer with a stem sentence.
Follow-up:
• When they have finished, they compare their sentences with the other pair in order to check their
answers.
• They then discuss which of the sentences match the opinions of all four of them and give reasons why.
Using other styles:
• This activity is visual as students have to complete sentences that are based on prompts after which
they read the half sentences produced by the other pair and complete the matching task. The activity
also uses kinaesthetic motoric and auditory skills as they have to move pieces of paper and hold
a discussion with one another.
Answer key: Suggested answers.

4 Listening: listening to descriptions Student’s Book p 132
Activity: matching
Style: auditory learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Put students in pairs. Copy and give out CARD A and CARD B on p 73 to the students.
• Student A reads the description of sports/situations they have in the first row and student B decides
which person from their second row can be a match. Then, student B reads their descriptions.
• Students look at their grids and check if they made the right choice.
Follow-up
• Students decide which sentence from the description row is true for them.
Using other styles:
• This activity is for auditory learners because they have to listen carefully to the descriptions.
The activity is also for visual learners because they have to match them in the grid. Finally, the activity
serves kinaesthetic emotional learners when students talk about their own opinions and experience
in the follow-up part of the exercise.
Answer key:
A It was really heavy, I couldn’t lift it above my head! B Andy is a weightlifter.
A So good I had my helmet on, I fell down and hit my head on the ice. B Bella loves ice hockey.
A The weather was really nice, the wind wasn’t strong and the waves weren’t big. B Mary is a sailor.
A I showed them how to walk on their hands and everyone was amazed. B Adam is a gymnast.
B I was riding really fast when suddenly a man ran onto the road and I fell down. Luckily, I had a helmet
on. A Julie is a cyclist.
B My idol is Cristiano Ronaldo, I wish I was as good as him. A Mary is a football player.
B I like this sport because I feel like an old time knight fighting with opponent. I think the white uniform
looks elegant. A John loves fencing.
B The world under water is amazing, I enjoy observing fish and plants moving slowly. A Tom goes snorkelling.
5 Speaking:
asking about likes, asking for advice, Student’s Book p 133
giving advice and responding to it
Activity: role play
Style: kinaesthetic emotional learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Students work in pairs.
• They imagine that one of them loves doing a certain sport while the other has never tried it.
• They create a dialogue, using the phrases in the CHART on p 74.
• They write down the dialogue learn it by heart and then act it out in front of another pair.
• The other pair listen carefully and then ask questions about the chosen sport, so students should
be prepared to explain why they answered as they did and to discuss their opinions about the topics.
Follow-up
• When the activity is finished, students talk about a sport they really love and give one another
some advice on how to do it. They tell their partners why they like/don’t like their partner’s choice.
Using other styles:
• The activity is kinaesthetic emotional as students both give advice and respond to it; they also have
to discuss a topic which is personal to them. They also need visual skills to write down the dialogue,
and auditory and kinaesthetic motoric skills are required in order to act out the role play. When
they discuss their favourite sport and give the other person advice about it, they again use their
kinaesthetic emotional skills.
Answer key: Students’ own answers.

Teaching notes
Steps:
• Copy and cut up the CARDS on p 74 (enough for each group of 8–10 students).
• Put the students into groups of 8–10. Each group is then subdivided into two teams.
• Individual students take turns choosing a card and acting out the activity on it.
• The remaining members of their team try to guess the activity in less than one minute.
• If they guess correctly, the team scores a point.
• Play passes to the other team.
• The team with the biggest number of points is the winner.
Follow-up:
• When they have finished, they discuss their experiences of the activities/sports.
• They share their experiences with the whole group.
Using other styles:
• The activity is mostly kinaesthetic motoric as it involves acting out an activity. Students also need
their auditory skills in order to call out words and then to discuss the activities at the end of the task.
Note: Groups who require additional help can be given the word grid so that they can easily identify
all the words. The words can then be ticked off once they have been guessed.
Answer key: miming game.
7 Grammar 2: modals: mustn’t, needn’t, have to, must, don’t have to Student’s Book p 135
Activity: find someone who
Style: kinaesthetic emotional learners
Teaching notes
Steps:
• Copy and give each student the CARD on p 75 with ‘find someone who’ sentences.
• Brainstorm the questions with different modal verbs.
• Students then need to move about the classroom and ask their questions to as many people as they
can, noting down the student’s name and their answers.
Follow-up:
• Students report back on the information they have found.
• They try to choose the most interesting, funny, creative answers and tell them to the rest of the class.
Using other styles:
• The activity is kinaesthetic emotional as students have to ask and answer personal questions and
give reasons for their answers. It also uses kinaesthetic motoric skills during the stage when students
move about the classroom; auditory skills are also necessary when asking and answering, and visual
skills are required when making notes about the answers. They again use auditory skills when they
report back on what they have heard and kinaesthetic emotional ones when choosing the most
interesting, funny or creative answers.

Specific Learning Differences
Specific Learning Differences
Students with Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs) or Special Education Needs (SENs) can be difficult to identify
in the language classroom. Poor performance in reading, writing and other areas of learning in the classroom may be
attributable to poor language proficiency in the second language and may not necessarily be a sign of SpLD.
There are a number of reasons for SpLDs: dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, dyscalculia and Asperger’s syndrome,
all of which can affect learning. Despite certain important differences, they can often co-occur.
Dyslexia is a common developmental difference that is seen mainly in information processing, especially phonological
processing.
Problematic areas: reading and writing skills, short-term and working memory, verbal processing speed
and co-occurring difficulties with organisation, sequencing, co-ordination and concentration.
Target group: Dyslexia can affect any individual regardless of intelligence and ethnic or social background.
The causes remain unclear, but it may be hereditary. Currently, there is no remedy for the condition.
Statistics: 10% of children are affected.
Dyspraxia is a common developmental difference affecting co-ordination, fine motor skills, articulation and sensory
perception.
Problematic areas: lack of attention and concentration, difficulties with speech production, sensibility
to the environment: temperature, light, noise, etc.
Target group: The causes are not fully known.
Statistics: 5-6% of children are affected.
ADHD is a common developmental difference that affects those parts of the brain that control attention, impulses
and concentration. It is wrongly understood as a lack of attention; it is actually a case of too much attention.
Problematic areas: short attention span, restlessness, constant fidgeting and impulsiveness, an inability
to focus caused by a lack of awareness of the immediate environment.
Target group: It can affect people of any intellectual ability but commonly affects individuals with learning
difficulties. The causes are unknown, but it may be hereditary. Currently, there is no remedy for the condition.
Statistics: 7% of children are affected.
Asperger’s syndrome is part of the autism spectrum. It differs from all of the above as it does not affect the memory
(in fact people with this condition have excellent memories). People with Asperger’s syndrome often have very narrow
but obsessive interests (perhaps in one or two areas, e.g. computers, trains, dinosaurs, animals etc.).
Problematic areas: difficulty with social interaction, difficulty with sociological imagination, difficulty with
changing routines.
Target group: Usually affects more boys (80%) than girls.
Statistics: 1% of children are affected.

Specific Learning Differences
Characteristic Effects of SpLDs
The range of characteristics will differ from individual to individual. The teacher can help students with SpLDs
by matching teaching techniques and methods to the individual’s needs. The characteristic effects of specific learning
differences on the learning process are:
• Lack of confidence.
Supporting methods:
Using differentiation and giving the student more attention and time.
• Difficulty in becoming fluent in a new skill to the point where it becomes automatic, for example reading,
writing.
Supporting methods:
Greater exposure to the skills and frequent revision.
• Poor short-term memory, which can lead to difficulties in carrying out instructions or copying from the board
and remembering what has just been read and/or said.
Supporting methods:
A simple solution to this problem is for students to carry a small notebook or diary in which they can record
homework tasks and the things that they have learned in class. For kinaesthetic learners a good way to help
improve memory is through using Cuisenaire rods (these are also useful for students with ADHD). A teacher
may also allow students to use a computer in class, but this would need to have special programs installed
which help learners with learning difficulties.
• Difficulties retrieving words when speaking and mispronunciation, usually caused by difficulties
in discriminating between sounds or motor problems.
Supporting methods:
A multi-sensory learning approach is very helpful. It combines auditory, visual, tactile and kinaesthetic activities.
For example, when a student is learning a new word they could draw a picture, repeat the word several times
after the teacher or act it out.
• Directional confusions, easily getting lost or experiencing problems using maps or following directions.
Supporting methods:
Students’ mobile devices can give assistance.
• Poor motor control results in a range of difficulties. These may include poor handwriting skills.
Supporting methods:
Doing exercises where students are able to trace over letters and words with their pen/pencil/finger are
beneficial. A multi-sensory approach can also be helpful.
• Errors when reading and spelling such as confusion or omission of sounds and/or muddling words.
Supporting methods:
Constructing words out of syllables. A multi-sensory approach is also recommended.
• Difficulties in retaining the visual image of words, signs, symbols and formulae.
Supporting methods:
Using word cards, colour coding, regular repetition and revision.
• Difficulties in reading texts caused by visual distortions such as blurring or moving letters.
Supporting methods:
Ensuring that the room is well lit and that there are no flickering lights in the room, which can blur or distort
a text. There should be as much natural light as possible. Covering the text if it is on white paper with coloured
overlay or tinted paper can also help.
© National Geographic Learning, Cengage Learning, Nowa Era Teen Explorer new 7 77
Specific Learning Differences
• Difficulties in comprehension despite appearing to read fluently.
Supporting methods:
Checking the student’s comprehension of questions, ensuring that the student understands the answers,
checking where he/she found the answers.
• Difficulties in sequencing letters when spelling, or numbers and signs in maths, difficulties taking
messages, remembering phone numbers and dialling them accurately.
Supporting methods:
Writing things down, repeating numbers and instructions, using a diary or mobile device to help memorise things.
• Problems with sequencing such as instructions and mathematical procedures, sequencing of numbers
or letters and difficulties using dictionaries, encyclopaedias and directories.
Supporting methods:
Instructions need to be explicit and clear.
• Particular susceptibility to stress, which may be associated with meeting deadlines or preparing for
examinations.
Supporting methods:
Support and reassurance from the teacher. Help build confidence by setting tasks that a student is already
capable of as a lead-in to a more challenging task.
• A noticeable inconsistency between a student’s achievements depending on whether it is a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ day.
Supporting methods:
Keeping noise levels down in order to reduce distractions, routine – building and the maintenance of a routine,
keeping the temperature constant (not too hot or cold).
• A structured reading scheme that involves repetition and introduces new words gradually
is extremely important. This allows students to develop confidence and self-esteem when reading.
• Avoid asking students to read a book above their current level. Failure to do so will instantly
demotivate the student. Motivation is far better when the demands are not too high, and the student
can actually enjoy the book. If they have to struggle with every other word, they will soon forget the meaning
of what they are reading.
• Do not ask a dyslexic student to ‘read aloud in class’. Reserve this for a quiet time with the teacher.
Alternatively, it is possible to give the student time beforehand to read some pre-selected reading material
in order to practice it at home. This will further boost confidence once the student realises their ability to read
aloud with the rest of the group.
• Books should also be made available for paired reading with an adult. This activity often generates enthusiasm
for books. Audio books can also be beneficial in vocabulary building. No learner should be denied the pleasure
of access to the meaning of the printed word.
78 Teen Explorer new 7 © National Geographic Learning, Cengage Learning, Nowa Era
Specific Learning Differences
• Teach students useful strategies:
– track the text using a ruler,
– employ trial spelling strategies,
– look for patterns in words – highlight them in colour,
– use mnemonics,
– break words up either by syllable or visually.
• Use technology:
– word processing (thus avoiding handwriting),
– text help, speech recognition software, reader pens, recorders.
• Illustrations
Images that exemplify sentences or unfamiliar words are invaluable. By spacing out the instructions
and adding a diagram, students can follow the text without having to understand every word – this is called
‘reading for meaning’.
Conclusion
It is important to remember that what is effective with one learner may not necessarily be effective with another.
Trying different approaches to discover what works best for each individual is crucial.
