Word reading strategies for all students
Happy January 147th! This month is seriously the LONGEST month every year, and it's definitely hitting me hard. Hopefully where you are you're surviving the cold, snow, and extreme weather so much of the country has been seeing. This week, let’s talk about ways to incorporate multisensory learning into your classroom, especially when it comes to word reading skills. Research proves that the more senses we can incorporate into a lesson or activity, the better the outcomes for our students. Think about it: when we not only read and write words but use manipulatives, tactile experiences, visual supports, and more, we strengthen those neuron connections because our brain is receiving more input about what we're doing. |
Another great resource for multisensory teaching: check out this blog post I just published with additional ideas! Easy-to-incorporate, low- or no-cost, and you'll get big returns in student growth! And finally, I have our three TPT giftcard winners from the raffle! They are: Priya K., Kelleo O., and Lori W.! Check out the post here with the drawing! See you next week! |
