Multi-sensory Instruction
This website is a great source of information on multi-sensory Instruction. Here you learn that multi-sensory learning involves the use of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways simultaneously to enhance memory and learning of written language.
I liked this video that explained that even if a child learns well visually, it is still beneficial to implement auditory and kinesthetic instruction.
Below is a picture of a multi-sensory tool for reading and writing. Here is a link to a resource - 8 Multisensory Techniques for Teaching Reading. I know my kids would enjoy the word building and the sand writing. |
The link on this image is to a wonderful website that shows you how to plan a multi-sensory lesson!

Below is a tri-fold brochure I designed based on Structured Literacy and the importance of Spelling Instruction.
