When we say that See abc’s is a multiple sensory reading program, it means that it uses the three senses necessary in order to learn; visual, auditory (hearing) and tactile (hands on). So, it reaches all types of learners. It has a strong visual connection by seeing the picture clue right in the letter shape itself. This has been a very powerful way to teach. It is auditory because children listen and repeat. And we use three tactile steps to teach each letter. This tactile component is a big reason why it is so successful. For my purposes, I broaden the term tactile beyond just touch. I include anything you do with your hands; actions as well as touch. These tactile steps are also what keeps children focused. When you combine all three of these senses, the results are amazing!
