A Teacher's Guide to Multisensory Learning
Author: Lawrence Baines
Publisher: ASCD
ISBN: 1416616578
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
How can teachers help students develop the literacy skills that are necessary for learning and retaining information in any subject? Traditional memory tricks, mnemonic devices, graphic organizers, and role playing do little to turn bored or reluctant students into enthusiastic learners. In A Teacher's Guide to Multisensory Learning: Improving Literacy by Engaging the Senses, Lawrence Baines shows teachers how to engage students through hands-on, visual, auditory, and olfactory stimuli and link the activities to relevant academic objectives. Throughout the book, you'll find real classroom examples of how teachers use multisensory learning techniques to help students interact with material more intensely and retain what they learn for longer periods of time. Baines provides a wide variety of engaging lesson plans to keep students motivated, such as Paint-Write: encourages students to use spontaneous painting to interpret their thoughts Soundtrack of Your Life: allows students to use contemporary music to learn about narrative writing Candy Freak: helps students expand their descriptive vocabularies (as they eat their favorite treats!) Red Carpet Conversations: empowers students to create dialogue and act out scenarios about their favorite celebrities Seventeen additional lessons plans are complemented with practical assessments and strategies for engaging students' sense of play. For teachers who are ready to energize their classrooms, this book is an invaluable resource for expanding students' capacity to learn and helping them cultivate essential skills that will last a lifetime.

This work encompasses API femmes of various ethnicities, occupations, and body sizes, and is inclusive of LGBTQ folks, immigrants, and mixed-race women. How many Asian American women can you name? Designed for reading-with your child or for children ages 10+ to read independently, We Are Inspiring brings to life the inspiring stories of Asian American women from various backgrounds, ethnicities, and professions. Asian American history is an integral part of American history, yet it is often untold or oppressed. I hope that women (femme-identifying or non-binary folks) and our allies are inspired by the Americans whose stories I authored and illustrated. I especially hope that when Asian American women flip through the pages of my children's book, they can see themselves represented, acknowledged, validated, and inspired to chase their dreams by the women who inspired me to chase my own.I wondered why I couldn't find this kind of book anywhere... I realized it was because I hadn't made it yet. Dear reader, thank you for supporting me in my mission to create the book of American stories that I have wanted to hold since I was child.
