Pipe cleaners letters and words !!!!

A multi-sensory teaching approach in a foreign language classroom .

Multi-Sensory approaches teach reading

and writing (including spelling) through using Auditory

(hearing), Visual (sight) and Kinaesthetic

(movement/touch) pathways. This gives multiple pathways

for the information to reach the brain.

Teaching and learning in this way is an exciting

 journey of discovery. It is a fast paced and creative

process where learning is fun since each small step is

mastered and the learner is aware of what they have gained.

A multi-sensory teaching approach that I like a lot is :

Pipe Cleaner Letters

Stock your class with pipe cleaners of various colours.

While you teach the children the letters of the alphabet, help

them bend the pipe cleaners into each letter. Provide the

children with large cut-outs of each letter so they have a

form to follow as they shape their pipe cleaners.

Instruct the children to run their hands along the

pipe cleaner from start to finish. Tracing the pipe cleaner

 helps the children create a tactile imprint of each letter.

Have a look at the pictures !!!

You can create words !!!!!

They can write their names !!!!

 Or messages to you !!!!

Because this way , learning can be FUN !!!!!
