  9. Preferred learning style? Visual Auditory Kinaesthetic Reading and Writing (Fleming & Baume, 2006)

  10. “Learning is experience…. ….Everything else is just information.” Albert Einstein

  11. Learning

  12. Ross Cooper’s Research 2/3rds of people prefer to think in images • 8% of all learners ONLY think visually • 5% of non-dyslexic population • 33% of the dyslexic population

  13. * • 4% of the population ONLY think verbally • 3.5% of the non-dyslexic population • 8% of the dyslexic population (Cooper, 1995) Dyslexic learners can be found at the extremes of the general population when it comes to visual and verbal thinking. dyslexia friendly teaching = learner friendly teaching

  14. Visual Strategies Venn Diagrams Time lines Mind maps

  15. Kinaesthetic strategies • Embodying • Role play • Cuisenaire rods/shells/stones • Cut-outs/magnetic letters • Modelling clay

  16. We can make sense of information Sequentially Holistically A B C D E WOW!

  17. Learning Styles Revisited • ‘Individuals have a range of different ways of making meaning while learning’ (Ross Cooper, 2006) • Meaning is constructed from experience • Multi-sensory experiences are more effective because it is easier for all learners to construct meaning from them • When experiences are meaningful we simply have to rely less on memory • If learners have a negative experience of learning they will construct meaning from that – i.e. that they don’t like the subject/teacher/institution/themselves • If we don’t adopt multi-sensory teaching methods we create barriers to making meaning, like insisting that deaf learners listen

  18. So….. If a child can’t learn the way we teach we must teach them the way they learn

  19. Multisensory learning = Inclusive learning Active participation Different strengths play different roles

  20. High Interest Learning Emotional engagement = intrinsic part of learning process (Damesio 1994) • Controversial issues • Collaboration to solve authentic problems • Pop songs • Text/msn language • Computer games • Movies • Individual interests
