•  Every student learns differently and has a unique learning style.

•  MulIsensory acIviIes allow students to use their personal areas of strength in learning.


NCTM 2012


•  ModaliIes refer to how students use their senses in the learning process.

•  A majority of students can learn well using all four modaliIes, but students all have preferences or dominant areas that can be used effecIvely in the learning process.

•  MulIsensory classroom acIviIes can enhance a student’s less dominant modaliIes.

Learning modaliIes include the following: •  Visual •  Auditory

•  TacIle/KinestheIc

NCTM 2012

“Approximately 20 to 30 percent of the school-‐aged populaIon remembers what is heard; 40 percent recalls well visually the things that are seen or read; many must write or use their fingers in some manipulaIve way to help them remember basic facts; other people cannot internalize informaIon or skills unless they use them in real-‐life acIviIes such as actually wriIng a le[er to learn the correct format.”

–Carbo, Dunn, Dunn

Learning Styles Research Shows…

NCTM 2012

“Children enter kindergarten as kinestheIc and tactual learners, moving and touching everything as they learn. By second or third grade, some students have become visual learners. During the late elementary years, some students, primarily females, become auditory learners. Yet, many adults, especially males, maintain kinestheIc and tactual strengths throughout their lives.”

–Stafford and Dunn

•  25-‐30% visual •  25-‐30% auditory

•  15% tacIle/kinestheIc •  25-‐30% mixed modaliIes
