The Alphabet KinectionThe Kinesthetic Teaching Techniqueby Amber Patrick“Teaching kids to read can be drudgery for parents and teachers alike, especially if the kids have learning challenges. The Alphabet Kinection applies the Kinesthetic Teaching Technique in a game for learning letters and sounds that is as simple and fun to play as Candy Land or Chutes and Ladders. It can be used with one student, thirty students, or more. It takes only about five minutes to learn how to teach, and the kids will not want to stop playing. The multi-sensory action allows students to have fun while they learn. The Alphabet Kinection will increase your confidence level as a teacher or parent to ‘Kinect’ with your child no matter their learning ability.The Kinesthetic Teaching Technique is on the cutting edge of adapting teaching methods to the short-attention-span culture in which we live. All types of students will learn quickly through direct interaction with the teacher and other students. The Alphabet Kinection has been used successfully with ADHD, dyslexic, and autistic students.
