, QUESTION 1
1.1. Assess learners to place them in (2 or 3) ability groups.
• Select a text on their instructional reading level.
• Learners should read with ease and decode 90%–95% in
a minute.
• Use a rubric and record the results.
• Re-group as learners progress.
• Try and keep the groups to 8–10 learners (depending on
the class size).
• Teach learners that the first letter of the first word of each
sentence gets capitalised.
• Explain to your learners that different punctuation marks
mean different things.
• Teach the class what commas, question marks and
exclamation marks mean.
• Explain to your class that books are written with spaces
between the words so readers can recognise each word.
1.2. The multisensory approach. A multisensory approach, "also
known as VAKT (visual-auditory-kinaesthetic- tactile) implies
that students learn best when information is presented in
different modalities (Mercer & Mercer, 1993)" (Murphy, 1997, p.
1). The belief is that students learn a new concept best when it
is taught using the four modalities.
1.3. How to implement multisensory teaching
Whether you are a classroom teacher, tutor, or parent you can
incorporate multisensory activities daily. I have used these
methods in the classroom, tutoring one on one, and home-
schooling my daughter.
Some popular multisensory programs include Orton-Gillingham,
Wilson, Barton, Linda mood-Bell, and Wooden Math. These are
pricey though so if you cannot afford them, then try adding in
the activities below to help your struggling learner(s).
