- 4. How does multisensoryinstruction work? • Learning often relies on a child’s sight to look at text and pictures and to read information. It also relies on a child’s hearing to listen to what the teacher is saying. • Multisensory teaching isn’t just limited to reading and listening. Instead, it tries to use all of the senses. Every lesson won’t use all of a child’s senses (taste, smell, touch, sight, hearing and movement). But in most multisensory lessons, students engage with the material in more than one way. • For example, let’s say your child’s class is studying apples. Your child might have the chance to visually examine, touch, smell and taste apples— instead of just reading and listening to his teacher speak about how they grow. Then he might hold a halved apple and count the number of seeds inside, one by one. • That’s multisensory teaching. It conveys information through things like touch and movement—called tactile and kinesthetic elements—as well as sight and hearing. https://www.understood.org/en/school-learning/partnering-with-childs- school/instructional-strategies/multisensory-instruction-what-you-need-to-know
- 5. Examples of Multi-SensoryReading • Multisensory instruction is a way of teaching that engages more than one sense at a time. For kids with reading issues like dyslexia, the use of sight, hearing, movement and touch can be helpful for learning. – Writing in Shaving cream or sand https://www.understood.org/en/school-learning/partnering-with-childs- school/instructional-strategies/8-multisensory-techniques-for-teaching-reading

- 7. Multi-Sensory Learning inScience • Performing experiments • Writing down the steps • Reporting the findings
- 8. How does thisapproach help students achieve more out of school • Kids with learning and attention issues can have trouble learning through just reading or listening. • Multisensory instruction can help kids learn information more effectively. • All kids can benefit from multisensory instruction. https://www.understood.org/en/school- learning/partnering-with-childs-school/instructional- strategies/multisensory-instruction-what-you-need- to-know

How can youincorporate this in your classroom? • Stay away from just black and white papers – Sight • Incorporating hearing tasks to identify an object – auditory • Baking bread to discover yeast properties – taste • Teaching about flowers, bring in pungent flowers for the students to smell – smell • Get creative with your students – playdoh, paint, bubble wrap - touch https://www.howtolearn.com/2012/12/learning-is-multi-sensory-how-to-engage-all- the-senses-so-children-really-benefit/
