Every student has its learning styles and understanding of the said subject. Children nowadays are very hard to teach because of technologies like gadgets, especially children in remote areas. Exerting effort when teaching a child is a must, in able for a child to gain learning. Teachers must have the passion, will, and patience to teach a child so that a child will be ready to take on a journey as a student until he/she can finish his/her studies.

Teaching how to read, listen, and write is very hard to do especially for elementary students. Not all elementary students can read and write, and some students can listen and read but poor in writing, vice versa. Why? Is it because of a lack of attention to teaching from their parents when they are at home? Or they don’t have the interest to learn? There are many reasons why a child is like that. Teachers prefer to think of a way or strategies on teaching that can gain the attention of a student. Providing or preparing activities for a student such as writing properly, practice reading from the basic words to intermediate words, and especially practicing a student on speaking and listening skills. Students need to boost their confidence when they are in the crowd so that they won’t be judged. Sometimes, students have the fear of facing the crowd because they might be bullied especially on activities like writing a speech and read it in class. Teachers must help them to gain confidence, passion, and dedication so that they can face the crowd without hesitation and avoiding from being bullied. Also, teachers must not pressure students to learn immediately instead help all students feel like a part of the school and educational community, assessing the learning styles of their students, keeping in mind that being different is not a hindrance to learning, and encouraging students to ask questions what they don’t understand something on the lessons/lectures or need further clarification. Sometimes, teachers are also sacrificing their time and effort just to teach how to read, listen, and write a child. Time-consuming? Yes! But in exchange, the benefit of a certain student will have a great impact on his/her following years.

As a future educator, I need to know this topic because, in the future, I might get an idea or technique on how to get the attention, and how it would be interesting for the elementary students. It is important also especially on my chosen degree because teaching lower grades are very difficult than the higher grades. Thinking strategies, what are the possible outcomes, what are the things to be limited in the classroom, the modifications and improvisations so that students will put their lessons on their mind. Furthermore, being a future educator is putting your passion and dedication towards students will very much appreciate. Every student has understanding, resources, and interests on which to build. Teaching a certain lesson does not begin from knowing anything but learning that is based on entirely new information given to them. Many kinds of learning require transforming the existing understanding of a student, especially when one understands needs to be applied in new situations. And teachers must have a serious role in assisting learners to involve their understanding, building on learner’s understandings, correcting errors, and observing and engaging with learners during the procedures of learning.
