Enhancing Literacy Through Multi-Sensory Play
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. O'Brien's classroom raised $646
This project is fully funded
My Project
Multi-sensory toys play a crucial role in supporting literacy development by engaging multiple senses - sight, sound, touch, and even movement. These toys create interactive and immersive learning experiences that cater to various learning styles particularly for students with special needs.
By incorporating tactile elements, auditory cues, and visual stimuli, multi-sensory toys help children strengthen connections between letters, sounds, and meanings in a way that traditional reading methods may not.
This hands-on approach not only makes learning more enjoyable, but also enhances retention and comprehension, providing a well-rounded foundation for reading skills.
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community
and 2 other donors.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
