Once I am aware of what they like, I will try to implement that into my plan by having them write about that particular interest and use their imagination to write a creative story. We know that children are more engaged and will have increased participation when they are completing an activity that sparks their interest! We need to look at the child holistically and select activities that they will want to participate in while improving their development of performance skills.
