How Can A Multi-Sensory Task Be Taught?

TEACHING A 'SENSATIONAL' TASK PART BY PART


See it (VISUAL) - How?

Hear it (AUDITORY) - How?

Do it and Feel it (KINESTHETIC AND TACTILE) - How?

Connect it (PUT IT ALL TOGETHER) - How?

In my humble opinion, a great example of this would be dance. One could see the dance steps by looking in the mirror. One could hear the dance steps (for instance tap, there is sound). If it is not tap, then I would connect the particular dance step with a word or beat in a song. The tactile portion could be accomplished by performing the dance steps. In regard to connecting everything, I would recommend using a mirror to watch oneself while dancing, listening to the dance steps if tap (if not tap, then connecting the dance move to a word or beat in a song), and for tactile actually performing the dance. The visual, auditory, and tactile parts can be done simultaneously. I hope this helps!

I teach beginning reading and students read the words they are spelling. When spelling they say each sound (or syllable) when they write it. At church the Orton-Gillingham training I took this summer the instructor said that writing in the sand is not alone make a program multi-sensory. By saying the sounds while writing a word students use auditory, visual and even kinesthetic pathways. There is also a pound and tap technique for multi syllable word spelling among others.
