Rise Up education Tutoring in Ballarat Offers Focused, Play-Based, multisensory Learning
Research shows that using a multisensory approach can help keep students engaged in their learning. It also has the following benefits-
Memory: Multisensory learning can help improve memory of the skill being taught.
Information collection: Multisensory learning can help with collecting information.
Connection making: Multisensory learning can help make connections between new and old information.
Problem solving: Multisensory learning can help with understanding and working through problems.
Cognitive development: Multisensory learning can promote cognitive development, which is how children think, learn, and work through situations.
Creativity: Multisensory learning can help children learn about creativity.
Confidence: Blending athletics with academics can help children feel confident.
Brain development: The human brain has evolved to learn and operate optimally in multisensory environments.
Multisensory learning involves using two or more senses within the same activity. When planning my lessons, I incorporate a range of multisensory activities to enhance learning and student engagement.

SOUNDS WRITE- AUSTRALIA
Sounds-Write puts the fun back into learning how to read, write and spell using a phonic approach to the teaching of reading. It begins with the sounds in the language and progresses from sounds to the written word.
In 2020 I completed my training with Sounds-Write Australia to become a registered practitioner. Since then I have worked with many children to improve their decoding skills when reading using this evidence based approach. I use the Sounds Write scope and sequence when planning for reading sessions and the Diagnostic assessment tools to assess where your child is at in their learning journey. I am an Early Childhood and Primary trained teacher who has had many years experience working with children and am a qualified Sounds-Write Practitioner, ready to help your child become a confident and capable reader.
