Multisensory Math
A Hands-on Multisensory Math Program . . . . . .
- requires students to consciously "think" through processes which might be quite automatic for most children.
- is a success oriented program in which the students work at levels appropriate to their abilities. Teachers provide needed instruction and create opportunities for practice in carrying skills to functional use.
- uses a multi-sensory technique. This means that the student will feel the motion of the hand touching, moving and building math concepts with concrete materials. At the same time the student will see, verbalize and hear how the math concept is developed and problems can be solved.
- builds in a structural and sequential way in order to fill any gaps in the child's knowledge of math functions, vocabulary and problem solving. Therefore, students develop adequate math skills to become independent.
- includes an approach to the language of math which stresses the use of the intellect.
- emphasizes teaching to individual needs.
- teaches patterns of thought, i.e. the process needed to perform math functions and problem solving correctly, not just memorizing facts.

Colour Coded Grammar and Written Composition Workshop
Using movement, colour and humour helps the struggling student gain success and enter into the fun of creative writing.
Memorization has little transfer to everyday writing.
Multisensory Colour Coded Grammar uses colour codes to introduce and reinforce the parts of speech in a sentence. Patterns of colour are used to help students compose original sentences orally and in written form.
The emphasis is on vocabulary building and fun.
Some additional materials you will find helpful for the Grammar Workshop are:
- A deck of white index cards (lined or unlined) in the size of your choice:
- large for primary: 6"x4" or 8"x5"
- smaller for older students: 6"x4" or 3"x5"
- Pencil crayons or felt pens
- A small ruler
- A binder for your notes and handouts (optional)
You will be making sample cards for future use, so the size is only important if you are beginning with a student immediately.
