Instruction approaches for kinesthetic learners

HI Teasha- Thanks for your post to the forum. I'm sure your kinestheic students are always eager to "just get to it" but you are wise to make sure that they do the reading in advance so that they understand the "Why" not just the "How". Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
