We can think of our senses as <span class=\"italic\">pathways to the brain<\/span>. When teaching reading and spelling, the three main senses we can involve are sight, hearing, and touch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Sight (the visual pathway)<\/li>\r\n<li>Hearing (the auditory pathway)<\/li>\r\n<li>Touch (the kinesthetic pathway)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s not as practical to involve the other two main senses (taste and smell), so for the purposes of teaching reading and spelling, we\u2019ll just focus on these three.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n<p>But how do you do that? Aren\u2019t reading and spelling <span class=\"italic\">visual<\/span> skills? You look at the word and read it, right?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is true that with most curriculum, spelling and reading are taught primarily through the visual pathway, ignoring the other major pathways to the brain. But not only is it <span class=\"italic\">possible<\/span> to activate the auditory and kinesthetic pathways to the brain, doing so is extremely beneficial for most learners. Here's how that works.<\/p>\r\n<a id=\"Pathways\"><\/a>\r\n<h2>Multisensory Learning Is Powerful!<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Think of your eyes, ears, and hands as information receptors for your brain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your senses gather information and send it to your brain for processing. Then your brain decides whether to pay attention to the information. If it does, the information is stored in your short-term memory for further processing. The more information receptors you involve, the better the chance that the information will be retained by the brain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Interestingly, when children are taught using all three pathways to the brain\u2014visual, auditory, and kinesthetic\u2014they learn more than when they are taught through only one pathway.<sup>1<\/sup> The more senses we involve, the more learning occurs. So even if your child tends to prefer visual learning, it is still important to teach through all three pathways.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>By the way, when you use multisensory teaching, it isn\u2019t necessary to figure out whether your child has a particular learning preference. That\u2019s because the <span class=\"italic\">best<\/span> way to teach is to involve <span class=\"italic\">multiple<\/span> pathways to the brain rather than target just one pathway.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<a id=\"SMI-METHOD\"><\/a>\r\n<h2>Engage All Three Pathways Simultaneously<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Multisensory-SMI-Method-375x385.png\" alt=\"Multisensory Teaching for Reading and Spelling\" width=\"375\" class=\"right\" \/><p>Multisensory teaching is a big improvement over teaching through a single pathway to the brain, but the real power comes when you combine all three pathways <span class=\"italic\">at the same time<\/span>. Here at All About Learning Press, we call this Simultaneous Multisensory Instruction\u2014the <span class=\"italic\">SMI method<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>SMI is a special subset of multisensory teaching. Instead of involving one pathway at a time, SMI activates two or three pathways to the brain simultaneously.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n<p>SMI is powerful because, as neuroscientists say, \u201cbrain neurons that fire together, wire together.\u201d<sup>2<\/sup> When we teach using multiple senses simultaneously, the neurons in the respective parts of the brain fire at the same time and wire together to create neural networks. These neural networks allow the brain to store and retrieve information much more effectively and efficiently. Isn't that exciting?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>And when we say that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-reading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><cite>All About Reading<\/cite><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-spelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><cite>All About Spelling<\/cite><\/a> are multisensory programs, it is specifically this highly effective approach that we are referring to.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>How the Multisensory Approach Is Used in Our Programs<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Multisensory-Phonogram-Card-350x300-1.png\" alt=\"Multisensory Teaching for Reading and Spelling\" width=\"325\" class=\"right\" \/><h3>Here\u2019s an example of how the SMI method is used in <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite>.<\/h3><p>When a new <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/how-to-teach-phonograms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">phonogram<\/a> is introduced (for example, phonogram DGE), the teacher dictates the sound \u201c\/j\/, three-letter \/j\/.\" Then the student writes the letter or letter combination as he repeats the sound.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n<p>This simple activity simultaneously engages the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways to the brain:<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span class=\"italic\">Visual<\/span>: the child sees the phonogram written down<\/li>\r\n<li><span class=\"italic\">Auditory<\/span>: the child hears the phonogram sound and repeats it as she writes the letters that make up that phonogram<\/li>\r\n<li><span class=\"italic\">Kinesthetic<\/span>: the child retains the muscle memory of writing the letter (hand) and saying the sound (jaw, tongue, and voice box)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>The visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways are all engaged, and the information becomes neurologically linked together. This will allow information to be retrieved more easily than if only one pathway had been engaged.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Multisensory-Tile-Board-400x350.png\" alt=\"Multisensory Teaching for Reading and Spelling\" width=\"325\" class=\"right\" \/><h3>Here\u2019s an example of how the SMI method is used in <cite>All About Reading<\/cite>.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/sound-out-words\/\" title=\"Helping Kids Sound Out Words\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blending<\/a>, the child touches one <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/using-letter-tiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter tile<\/a> at a time, saying the sound as she touches the tile.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This simple activity simultaneously engages all three pathways: visual (seeing the phonogram), auditory (saying the sound), and kinesthetic (touching one tile for each sound). The activity also reinforces the skills of directionality, phonics, and blending, and leads to long-term retention.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Every single lesson in both programs contains multisensory activities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Ready to Try Multisensory Activities with Your Kids?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Here's a roundup of five blog posts that feature some of our favorite multisensory activities for reading and spelling.
