Visual Spatial learners often struggle with learning to read. Use a phonics and whole word approach to reading. Since they think in pictures, connect letter sounds with pictures. Give them plenty of time with this.  |
Itchy's Alphabet learners
need to visualize information. For the 'm' sound this program uses the
key-word 'mountains'. When you think of 'mountains', it immediately
reminds you of the formation of the letter 'm' as well as the 'm'
sound. I wish I had this program to teach my oldest to read! Buy Itchy's Alphabet |
