Hands-on activities are essential for students (especially English language learners). Exploring the materials and connecting the new learning help students scaffold and comprehend new concepts.
Echevarria et al. (2008)
explain that “English learners make more rapid progress in mastering content
objectives when they are provided with multiple opportunities to practice with
hand-on materials and/or manipulatives” (p.139).
