I've seen the teacher, and her student teacher, use many, if not all of the strategies in this module.
Physical Movement: The students trace letters in the air with their fingers, use their bodies to put numbers in order, and draw letters in sand.
Involving as many students as possible: The teacher will have a book projected on the overhead and each student gets a turn to come up and use a pointer to read the next sentence.
Provide opportunies for students to interact and discuss: Often the teacher will group the students into partners for an assignment or allow the students to pick partners themselves, so they can learn how to work together and help one another. They also learn how to do this in bigger groups when they go to "Centers".
The teacher uses songs, poems, and games to help students learn and remember a concept.
I have also seen scaffolding, prompting, feedback, wait time, withitness, and closure all used repeatedly in the classroom.
