Why Multisensory Instruction?

Reason # 5 - Greater Achievement

"Achievement scores of students who were taught with instructional resources that matched their preferred modalities were statistically higher than were the scores attained by students who were not taught with learning-styles methods. Moreover, when students were taught with multisensory instructional resources, although initially through their most preferred modality, and then received reinforcement through their secondary or tertiary modality, scores further increased," (Farkus, 2003).

"The average student whose learning styles were accommodated could achieve at the 77th percentile of the distribution of the control-group of students," (Farkus, 2003).
