No two children learn the same way. Exploring educational concepts through movement and multiple sensory experiences gives children an opportunity to learn in ways they understand. To capture this array of learning variability, it is important to engage the body's senses; seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, smelling, and moving are the basic building blocks to learning across all domains. The ABC's of Active Learning engages the whole child in multisensory experiences geared to developing the literacy skills needed for reading and writing. The 26 alphabet units provide opportunities for children to use all of their senses to fully explore and experience each letter of the alphabet. Each alphabet unit is complete with phonemic awareness activities including rhyming and alliteration sentences with a children's book suggestion for language enrichment. Multisensory writing using unconventional materials, fine motor crafts, and gross motor games offer developmentally appropriate activities for early learners of all abilities. Children will love the hands-on activities as they connect literacy experiences to each alphabet letter.
