For Emphasis . . .

During your teaching, there places where you would like to emphasize those certain things that are most important in your lesson. Applications for the unsaved child or for the saved child are places where you want to make sure you have your children's attention. Try this:

With flashcard lessons:
Hold the flashcard down to your side or set it down.
With flannelboard lessons:
Move so that you are in front of the flannelboard visuals.

This will automatically draw the children's eyes to yours, establish eye contact and communicate to the children that what you are about to say is very, very important. If you lower your voice, they will listen even more closely.
