When your child is becoming a phonics reading pro, look out for the following signs to see if she is a dominant tactile learner.
First, notice to see if she easily gets distracted by random movement and activity around her while she’s working on her phonics reading and trying to concentrate.
Next, does she prefer to write down words or write out a story as she has perceived it or wants to tell it?
Does she prefer to touch and feel story books with the raised fabric on the pages rather than listen to the story or just flip through the pages and look at the pictures?
Does she like to express herself with gestures and movement?
Does she like to write her words to see if they feel right to her after she has put them down on paper?
If you answered yes to most of the questions above, more than likely, she is a tactile learner.
Using flash cards and memory games would be great avenues to help her learn her lessons.
Allow her to act out; by role playing, whatever she is working on…this will make it much easier for her to understand it and to remember it.
When she is older and studying for her school assignments, quiz and coach her by enacting scripted plays of what she is working on.
She will learn her lessons best by experiencing them through acting out the particular events and information.
It will be hard for her to learn if she is forced to sit still for long periods of time. Schedule much needed breaks for her to move around.
Let her build models of what she is studying. That will yield great results too.
It would be a very good idea to allow her to pursue whatever sports activities that is of interest to her as well.
She would also be great with martial arts and dance.
It’s okay to have noise in the background, more than likely, that will not bother her.
Phonics reading will be easier and more fun for the tactile learner if you use these tips. Happy learning!
