Remotivation can be applied to help you and the person you are teaching achieve specific learning objectives.

 

While remotivation can stimulate learning in general, it can help you teach specific topics.

 

Teaching reading is an example.

 

Reading is taught in different ways or with different approaches to meet the needs of each student.  The current research shows that motivation becomes more important as the student gets older or has a learning disability such as dyslexia.

 

Remotivation employs indirect instruction methods along with socialization to make learning more enjoyable and motivational.  It can be applied in individual teaching sessions or in small groups.

 

Remotivation sessions are topical so each session has a specific thing, idea or concept that is the focus of learning.

 

The key to success is creating a very strong "climate of acceptance and appreciation".  Most students can tolerate some level of correction during learning.  But, many cannot learn productively in a judgmental relationship with the teacher.

 

Remotivation teaches you how to teach in a climate of acceptance and appreciation without correcting or contradicting the learner.  Students learn from each other and develop a supportive "safe harbor" to learn in a positive manner.

 

This makes learning very enjoyable and very stimulating for those who need a different approach from the traditional classroom.

 

Remotivation topics can be individual "sight" words that cannot be sounded out with phonics.  The topics can be individual sounds of phonemics.  You determine how specific a session needs to be to accomplish your learning objective and be successful.

 

As a parent or teacher, you have a wealth of information online to use in teaching children and adults to read.  You can use that content as the topic of your remotivation sessions and increase your students willingness to learn and  their love for learning.
