Tactile Learning

Our tactile activities work together with phonetic lessons to help the children remember the shapes of the letters, and to connect, through multi-sensory experiences, the image of the letter with a sound. Before starting this technique, Huyler could sing the alphabet but could hardly identify any of the letters of the alphabet if they were out of sequence. Now he can identify all the letters and tell you what sound most of them make - and we have only actually learned 5 letters! But once he realized that each letter had its own sound, he quickly picked them all up! It really works - plus its fun!

Here we are slurping up our Jell-O Jigglers after making letter A with them!
