Breaking the Sounds' Barrier

What makes this curriculum multisensory?

Music	Students learn the sounds through rhythmic music that is comprised of alliteration and rhyme. The songs have the sounds in the beginning, medial, and final positions of words.
Oral-Motor Awareness	Students learn to look for patterns in the position of their mouths and to recognize the way in which air exits their mouths during articulation. Speaking correctly leads to spelling correctly. And Speaking correctly leads to matching the spoken word with the written word. It makes all the difference in learning to read easily!
Auditory	Students practice oral drills to develop auditory acuity. Students develop listening skills to identify and distinguish between sounds.
Oral	Students produce sounds orally through alliteration and rhyme. They articulate the sounds in the beginning, medial, and final positions of words.
Visual	Students pair sounds with visual cues: hand-symbols, mouth position, colors, and patterns.
Tactile	Students learn the formation of the letter-symbols through tactile experiences using a variety of textures.
Movement	Students learn sounds through rhythmic movement to music. Students experience (physically) the formation of the letter-symbol as they use gross-motor movements that cross the mid-line.
Color	Students learn to recognize the patterns created by vowels and consonants by using colorful blocks.
Pattern	Students learn to recognize the patterns that vowels and consonants make within words and syllables through the use of shaped, colorful, pattern blocks. They also develop an awareness of pattern through the printed word, itself
