1Question

Tell me about a time you helped a child overcome a learning challenge in EYFS

I had a 4-year-old pupil who struggled with letter recognition and was becoming frustrated during phonics sessions. I identified that he was a kinaesthetic learner through observation. I created a multi-sensory approach using sand trays, playdough letter formation, and movement games. Over 6 weeks, I tracked his progress daily and celebrated small wins. By half-term, he had mastered 18 of the 26 letters and his confidence had transformed. His parents noticed the improvement at home too, and he began enjoying reading activities.
2Question

Describe a situation where you had to adapt your teaching approach for different learning styles

During a numeracy lesson on counting to 10, I noticed 3 children weren't engaging with the traditional counting bears activity. I quickly adapted by introducing counting through movement for one child who was kinaesthetic, visual number cards with pictures for another who was visual, and counting songs for the third who responded to auditory input. Within 20 minutes, all children were successfully counting to 10. This experience reinforced the importance of having multiple teaching strategies ready and observing children's responses to adapt in real-time.
