Teachers are always trying to reach more learners and improve retention. One of the best ways
to do this is to employ a variety teaching methods. This involves integrating the 12 ways of
learning into instruction. Here is an infographic that reviews the 12 ways of learning and
provides some statistics on how learning improves when teachers implement multisensory
instruction.
Here is an image of the same infographic that can be shared on Pinterest.
I hope you found this to be informative and inspiring. If you have any thoughts you would like

Using multisensory instruction always makes a lesson more engaging and fun for students. In
fact, one of my favorite learning modalities to integrate into instruction is kinesthetics or
movement. For many learners having to sit still is not conducive for learning, and other children
just need to get their bodies moving and their blood circulating from time to time to fully focus
on a lesson.
One of my favorite topics to teach are the different type of angles and lines. I like to cover these
concepts with a multisensory and interactive PowerPoint that I created, then I get the students to
use chants as well as their bodies to encode the information. Just this week I created a free
YouTube video, where I share some fun activity ideas for lines and angles.

Many students struggle with the steps required to complete mathematical problems.
They may forget the concept, miss a step, mis-sequence the steps, misread a sign, or
struggle with writing out or lining up the numbers. In fact, even if a student has
understood and executed a problem with precision, it doesnt mean that they will retain
that information at a later time. So what can we do to help these students to encode,
into long-term memory, the steps required to complete math computations?
Go multisensory: Integrate as many of the 12 Ways of processing as you can into your
instructional plan: Visual, Auditory, Tactile, Kinesthetic, Sequential, Simultaneous,

Use Mnemonics:
Memory strategies are tools that help students organize information before they file it
away in their memory banks. I encourage my students to create their own memory
strategies and to use both visual and auditory mnemonics.
Other Options:
Ask your students to create a song, poem, or rhyme with or without a dance routine to
define the steps. Integrating songs, rhymes and kinesthetics offers further modalities
that will help to encode computation skills.

information onto the best colored index card so that all the supporting
details and examples are categorized under the same color as the most
appropriate main idea. Then, I can let him sequence the supporting details
and examples in an orderly fashion by arranging the cards. Finally, when JT
is ready to type his paper, he can alter the font color to match the colored
index cards so that he can be sure to get all the correct details and examples
under the best main idea. Once the paper is complete, JT can select the
whole document and change the font color back to black.
I hope you will try having your students draw their own mental mind maps.
Allowing them to show the workings of their inner mind will not only help
others remediate areas of difficulty, but it will help each individual have a
better understanding of and power over his or her own ways of processing.
I would love to hear your thoughts.

Balls and balloons offer a cheap and fun way to complete your school year. Whats more
integrating balls and balloons brings a tactile, playful, and kinesthetic modality into the
classroom. Balls and balloons can be used to review the academic content, as well as
mindfulness activities and keepsakes. Below is featured a variety of entertaining, multisensory
ideas.
Reviewing Key Topics from the School Year
These games can be played with an entire class in a large circle facing one another, or you can
break the students into small groups or pairs.
1) Parts of Speech Game: Place the parts of speech on a balloon or ball. Have the students pass
the balloon or ball to one another. Instruct them to say aloud the first part of speech they see.
Then ask them to provide a word that is an example of that part of speech. Players can not repeat
a word that has already been used. If they do, they are out of the game.
2) Figurative Language Game: Place the figurative language terms on a balloon or ball. Have
the students pass the balloon or ball to one another, and instruct them to say aloud the first
figurative language term they see. Then ask them to provide a phrase that is an example of that
type of figurative language. Players can not repeat a figurative language example that has already
been used. If they do, they are out of the game.
3) Types of Syllables Game:
http://learningspecialistmaterials.blogspot.com/
Place the syllable types on a balloon or ball. Have the students pass the balloon or ball to one
another, and instruct them to say aloud the first syllable type that they see. Then ask them to
provide a word that is an example of that type of syllable. Players can not repeat a word that has
already been used. If they do, they are out of the game.
4) Vowel Combinations or Vowel Teams Game:
Place the vowel combinations on a balloon or ball. Have the students pass the balloon or ball to
one another, and instruct them to say aloud the first vowel combination that they see. Then ask
them to provide a word that uses that vowel combination. Players can not repeat an example that
has already been used. If they do, they are out of the game.
5) Types of Sentences: Place the types of sentences on a balloon or ball. Have the students pass
the balloon or ball to one another, and instruct them to say aloud the first sentence type that they
see. Then ask them to provide a sentence that illustrates that sentence type. Players can not repeat
a sentence that has already been used. If they do, they are out of the game.
6) Main Ideas and Details: Place main ideas on a balloon or ball. Main ideas could include
transportation, colors, vacation spots and so forth. Have the students pass the balloon or ball to
one another, and instruct them to say aloud the main idea that they see. Then ask them to provide
a detail that would be properly categorized under that main idea. Players can not repeat a detail
that has already been used. If they do, they are out of the game.
7) What I Learned: Have the students sit in a circle facing one another. Explain that the only
person who can speak is the one holding the ball. Toss the ball to one of your students and ask
them to share the most important thing they learned over the school year. When they are finished
talking, have them toss the ball to another student. Continue until all the students have an
opportunity to share their thoughts.
8) My Favorite Lessons: Have the students sit in a circle facing one another. Explain that the
only person who can speak is the one holding the ball. Toss the ball to one of your students and
ask them to share their favorite lesson from the whole school year. Ask them to also share why
they like it so much. When they are finished talking, have them toss the ball to another student.
Continue until all the students have an opportunity to share their thoughts.
9) What I Like About Me and You: Have the students sit in a circle facing one another. Explain
that the only person who can speak is the one holding the ball. Toss the ball to one of your
students and ask them to share one thing that they like about themselves and one thing that they
like about the person who tossed them the ball. When they are finished talking, have them toss
the ball to another student. Continue until all the students have an opportunity to share their
thoughts.
10) Memory Balls: Give each student a blank inflatable ball, such as a beach ball. Provide
permanent markers and let the students go around and sign each others balls. They can leave
short messages too. Be sure to say that all messages must be positive.
11) Why Im Special Balls: Before you begin this activity, ask your students to help you
create a list of positive adjectives that can describe people. Place this list where all the students
can see it. Now, give each of your students a blank beach ball or balloon. Provide permanent
markers and have the students go around and write a positive adjective that describes the person
on the ball or balloon to whom it belongs. Encourage the students to come up with unique
adjectives by looking at each ball and coming up with something new.

Bringing a tactile, visual and experiential component into math instruction can bring the fun
factor into your lessons. In addition, incorporating multisensory dynamics into lessons makes
them more memorable and concrete.
This activity is great for math centers, a classroom activity or individual remediation.
When I teach place values, I like to engage my students with colorful pompoms and pill boxes!
You can usually find pill boxes and bags of assorted pompoms at a Dollar Store. With a few
color coded labels, that cover the days of the week, your pill boxes can be transformed into
pompom compartments. I like to put a single color in each compartment and I color code the
labels to match. This makes it easy for students to reassemble the activity for the next person.
Also, make sure to vary the number of pompoms in each partition. I like to make a variety of
difficulty levels for the students and use the seven boxes as follows:
