100 Powerful Learning Specialist and Educational Therapy Materials

This week I wanted to tell you about my online store, Good Sensory Learning. I’m Dr. Erica Warren, and I established this site so I could share all the materials that I have created over the last 20+ years as a learning specialist and educational therapist.

Mindful, Fun, Multisensory Materials for Learning the Vowel Combinations or Vowel Teams

One of the most difficult reading concepts to learn in the English language is the vowel combinations or vowel teams. Well, not anymore. The process is now fun, memorable and multisensory with Vowel Combinations Made Easy. It was created for my own students and I have found it to be extremely successful.

However, most students love the idea of finding or uncovering a hidden message. So, explaining that, like a detective, they can solve the secret code, students will find this both appealing and exciting. Here are four activities that you can do to help even the youngest of learners find joy in searching for inferences. Look through magazine images and see if you can uncover any hidden messages. When traveling look at billboards and see if you can point out any inferences. Look at the images on book covers and see what kind of hidden messages they might include that tell you a little bit about the story. When watching TV pay attention to the advertisements. What kinds of secret messages are implied? If you would prefer to use a 60 page workbook, with images, activities and games, you can always pur
