Multisensory Spelling Rules

Multisensory teaching is any learning activity that includes the use of two or more sensory modalities simultaneously to take in or express information.

A multisensory approach to learning maximizes mastery and retention and enables learners to capitalize on their strengths while strengthening their weaknesses.

Multisensory Spelling Rules

Multisensory instruction is a powerful tool in reinforcing our language teaching in three important ways. First, it helps get the information across. Second, it helps the students process the information. And, third, it helps students retrieve information already learned.

Multisensory Spelling Rules

Why spelling rules? When children are familiar with

spelling rules, their reading and writing are strengthened. Spelling is an essential and interconnected complement to reading instruction.

Multisensory Spelling Rules

Often spelling rules are taught and learned, but then are not put into use when students read or write. Multisensory teaching helps students store these rules efficiently in their long term memory so when needed they will be efficiently retrieved.

“Magic e”

For younger students: Present the “Magic e” rule using magician props: magic wand, glitter, etc…

Use pictures or actual items, if possible, to show the magic.

For older students: bring in weights. Have students pass the weights to each other and say that this is like the magic e passing all its strength to the short vowel, so it can become a long vowel.

“Magic e”

Ask the students to sort words with 2 colors: red for short vowel sounds (red = stop) green for long vowel sounds (green = go). Give an answer card so they can self check their

work.

For older students use sentence cards with target words in bold. Ask them to read the sentences to each other in groups or pairs and sort them into 2 groups: long and short vowel sounds.

Vowel Pairs

“When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking!”

Teach the vowel pairs: ee, ea, ai, oa, giving examples with pictures or actual items, if possible.

Give the students a board game with cards to read aloud and match to the meanings of the words on the boards. This game is appropriate for all ages.
