Correct Response: D. Kinesthetic learning approaches involve students in tactile or movement-based activities to promote recall and learning. In this scenario, students "paint" words on the wall as they recite the letters of a word, using their arms and hands as if they were holding a paintbrush. This painting movement helps reinforce and enhance students' visual and auditory recall of the word by involving their whole bodies in the act of spelling. A is incorrect because simply adding variety to a task does not necessarily promote recall. The movement must be purposeful and directly related to the thing the students are trying to remember, in this case the spelling of new words. B is incorrect because the students are not using prior learning to achieve the objective of the lesson. Their prior knowledge of painting will not help them learn to spell. C is incorrect because the areas of the brain activated by movement do not necessarily correlate to the areas of the brain associated with literacy.
