Multisensory learning

Multisensory learning is when we use our different senses to learn new things.

Do you know what senses are? They are things like your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and hands. When you learn something new, like a new word, your brain can remember it better if you see it, say it, hear it, and maybe even touch something related to it.

For example, let's say you are learning the word "cat." If you see a picture of a cat, say the word "cat," hear someone else say "cat," and even feel the fur on a toy cat, your brain is using lots of different ways to remember this new word. This is called multisensory learning!

Think of it like a superhero that can use all of their powers to save the day. Your senses are like your superpowers when it comes to learning and remembering new things. This kind of learning can make it easier to remember things, and it can also be more fun too!
