Multisensory Equals More Memory and More Skills!

Photo "Children learn through their senses. Each sense activates specific neurons in the brain; therefore, multi-sensory activities generally provide more lasting learning opportunities than single-sensory activities. Each child is unique and brings to class his or her own learning style which determines how he or she understands and organizes information.... So joyfully accept your child as he is, and work with him to make the most of his abilities as they relate to his learning style. We think it is worth restating the following quote this week in the context of our multi-sensory focus. 'Short-term memory has the ability to hold about seven bits of information. But when patterns and related groupings of information are bound together as a unit (as in our multisensory play) the volume of material stored increases.' -Rhythms of Learning by Chris Brewer and Don G. Campbell. Source
