MULTI SENSORY TEACHNIQUES AND MATERIALS
teaching methods that involve engaging more than one sense at a time
Involving the use of visual, auditory and kinesthetic-tactile pathways
include taste, smell, touch, sight, hearing and movement.
Paying attention
Stronger connection
non-verbal problem solving skills
can enhance memory and ability to learn.
are able to experience a lesson through multiple pathways that can best stimulate their brains and engage them more deeply in the subject matter.
helpful for students with learning disabilities and cognitive limitations who may have difficulty in one or more areas of education.
MATH
Using beads, dried beans, or cereal as manipulative is a great way to have kids represent math operations
adding two sets of beads together
help kids develop number sense and understand amounts.
use cubes or tiles to build shapes. This gives them a concrete idea of the measurement and properties of the figures they create.
Drawing math problems is a good next step after working with hands-on materials like beads or colored tiles. It’s a way for kids to show their thinking — and it takes them one step closer to writing number sentences with numerals and symbols.
The act of tapping out numbers can help kids connect symbols to actual amounts, and “feel” the value. This is especially useful for working with multiples.
Playing musical notes can help kids learn grouping or fractional parts.

reading
Sand or shaving cream writing
use sight, touch, and sound to connect letters and their sounds .
Air writing (also called sky writing)
Kids use two fingers as a pointer (keeping elbows and wrists straight) to write letters in the air. They say the sound each letter makes as they write it.
Sandpaper letters
retain a tactile (touch) memory of letters and their sounds.
trace each letter or arrange sandpaper letters on a table to spell out star or sight words
Word building
use magnetic letters that have vowels in one color and consonants in another.
Read it, build it, write it
read the sight word that’s in the “Read” box
build the word in the “Build” box
practice writing the word in the “Write” box.
handwriting
Use dark ruled and “bumpy” paper.
help kids see barriers so their letters don’t drift.
Trace and do mazes.
trace shapes and maze-like paths from left to right, top to bottom, or through jagged and curvy lines, you can help them develop fine motor control.
Try “Wet-Dry-Try.”
Kids can wet a sponge cube and squeeze it out so it’s not dripping with water. Write a letter on the slate as a model. Next, kids write the letter using a wet sponge. Then they can trace it with a dry sponge. Finally, they can write the letter using chalk
Use a “Spacekid.”
If kids leave too much or too little space between words, a “Spacekid” can help.
sensory freezer-bag writing.
Fill a freezer-sized Ziploc bag with a couple dollops of colored hair gel
Ask them to use their finger or the eraser end of a pencil to practice writing words or letters
