Multisensory Teaching Techniques

It is extremely important that Dyslexic people use multisensory techniques whenever possible.  The combination of using multiple senses increases the chance of retaining the new information received.  Most Dyslexic people find it challenging to retain information, so anything that will help with the petaintion, is desirable. Many people ask me what multisensory really means, so I am providing a list of how we incorporate multisensory tools into our Orton-Gillingham based programs.

HEARING:
  • Phonemic Awareness Activities
  • Isolating Sounds,Syllables and Words
  • Blending Words Together
  • Processing Separate Sounds
SEEING:
  • Sound-Symbol Associations Using Color Coded Tiles for Letters and Letter Groups
  • Color Coded Print
  • Color Overlays
  • Diacritical Markings of Words
  • Color Coded Spelling Aids
  • Visualization for Spelling Sight Words
  • Sight Word Learning Aids with Drawings and color definition
  • Reading Controlled Texts
KINETIC (FEELING):

Jess Arce -  About the Owner

Picture
Jess Arce
Jess Arce, the owner and program director of Lexia Learners, began her Dyslexia career quite unexpectedly.  After moving back west from the Dyslexic friendly town of Prosper, Texas Miss Jess began homeschooling her youngest two of four children in 2010.

That year, Miss Jess began using Barton Reading and Spelling with her severely Dyslexic youngest son and profoundly Dyslexic daughter. both kids found success in the program. Upon, starting to teach her children, Miss Jess quickly realized the reading struggles both her and her husband had as children were due to Dyslexia. In no time, Dyslexic families families started knocking down Miss Jess’ door and her new career, was born.  

Miss Jess is passionate about helping students who struggle because she knows firsthand as a mother, wife and Dyslexic herself, how challenging it can be to learn to read, spell, do math and other skills neurotypical people take for granted when not presented the right program for their learning style. Since 2010 Miss Jess has helped numerous students, both young and older, learn to form letters, read, understand math concepts, become stronger spellers, gain confidence, and bring peace back to their home and family!

Education:
From a Dyslexic perspective, education isn’t everything, but for you neurotypicals, reading this here  you go.
Miss Jess majored in Fashion Design at FIDM, Entrepreneurialism at Santa Ana College and Education at University of Nevada, Las Vegas and.  Since 2010, Miss Jess spends all of her spare time studying and learning more about neurologically based learning differences such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Sensory Processing Delay, Autism Spectrum and ways to help her students’ become successful in math, reading, writing, spelling and executive functioning skills. She has  attended hundreds of hours of graduate level courses for students with learning disabilities and has been personally trained by Susan Barton, the Creator of the Barton Reading and Spelling System. She has received certificates from the University of San Diego and University of London.
