Dyslexia and Dyscalculia

Dyslexia and Dyscalculia

Multisensory learning involves the use of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways simultaneously to enhance memory and learning of written language.



Multisensory learning has been the most effective way to teach my struggling learners, especially those with dyslexia and dyscalculia.

Dyslexia

Dyslexia is the most common learning disability and affects reading and spelling.

Multisensory Structured Language (MSL) is an evidence based approach to assist children with dyslexia to better grasp literacy.



MSL programs provide the student with explicit training using a systematic and sequential approach to learning the structure of language and using senses to enhance the student’s memory and learning. More specifically these programs teach:

  • phonemic awareness (breaking words into individual speech sounds and putting them back together)
  • the sound system of the English language (sound-symbol associations)
  • syllable instruction (six or seven syllable ‘types’ with unique vowel patterns)
  • meaningful word parts (root words, prefixes, suffixes)
  • grammar and syntax
  • word meaning

Dyscalculia

Dyscalculia is a diagnosis used to describe learning difficulties related to math concepts and affects a child’s ability to understand, learn, and perform number-based operations. 



For learners with issues such as dyscalculia, as well as a range of other learning and sensory challenges, multisensory learning is particularly powerful.



Using multisensory instruction to teach your child can speed up learning. 



Teaching math through auditory, visual, and hands-on learning is proven by research to improve learning. It really helps children with math-based learning disabilities like dyscalculia.



Multisensory maths involves an interactive and hands-on approach. Sessions include the teaching of basic number facts and operations of mathematics. This approach provides learning experiences which move from the concrete to representational to abstract.
