How we learn

I'm, sure that you have heard this before (It's not original by me.) but it bears repeating:

We remember only 10% of what we read.
We remember only 20% of what we hear.
We remember only 30% of what we see.
We remember 50% of what we both hear and see.
We remember 70% of what we see, hear, and discuss with others.
We remember 80% of what we experience personally.
We remember 90% of what we see, hear, discuss, and experience.

If children are going to learn, then we as teachers need to involve them in the process. Research indicates that asking questions before and after reading a story increases learning.
