Multisensory learning
Multisensory learning uses more than one sense at a time, such as seeing, hearing, and moving. It can improve memory and engagement.
Definition
Using multiple senses helps the brain encode information in different ways. It is often helpful for reading and spelling practice. Examples include saying sounds aloud while tracing letters or using movement cues. The best approach is simple, consistent, and person‑friendly.
