Most teaching in traditional schools is done using two senses, sight and hearing.
Yet students with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia may have difficulty with tracking or visual processing, or see words become fuzzy or move around; auditory memory or processing may also be weak.

A multisensory teaching method is critical for these individuals. It introduces touch and movement into the learning process. These senses give students the tactile and kinetic memories they need—in addition to the visual and auditory ones—to experience learning success.

At Fraser Academy, we constantly engage all four modalities—visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic—for as multisensory and optimal a learning experience as possible.
This way, students with dyslexia can make use of areas of the brain other than the traditional ones in trying to establish clear memories of letters, words and numbers. They also discover a learning tool that will last them a lifetime. Click here for an example of the multisensory learning process.
