Multisensory Learning: The Key to Success for Struggling Students

February 24, 2018 by Halley Lavenstein Leave a Comment

Unveiling the Mystery of Multisensory Learning

The best way to process, learn, and store new information is to utilize multiple pathways of the brain. RITES programs and materials encourage students to see it, hear it, and do it, all at the same time, using multisensory learning techniques. Our teachers and tutors deliver instruction using all three of these channels at the same time. This ensures that memory and learning are enhanced, and overall student achievement is increased. One of the most effective proven methods of mastering new content is multisensory learning. This approach is particularly beneficial for students with learning differences, especially those with dyslexia.

Students in RITES summer programs are constantly receiving multisensory instruction. For example, Code Breakers students had some fun with shaving cream while they practiced writing letters and sight words. Each student got to spread shaving cream on his or her desk. This is a tactile, “hands-on” learning experience.  Students write the words or letters (tactile) spoken by their teacher (auditory pathway), and see the letters as they write them (visual pathway.) Finally, the words were written on the chalkboard for students to see (engaging the visual system).

RITES' Multisensory Learning: The Key to Success for Struggling StudentsRITES summer students also spend time using the Lexia Core 5  literacy program on iPads. Lexia has a number of multisensory activities that reinforce the skills they’ve been working on with their teachers. In addition to gaining the benefits of extra reading, writing and spelling instruction, Lexia is great because students love the engaging, game-based activities!
