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. When I first began my private practice, Learning to Learn, I had great difficulty finding fun and multisensory materials for my students that were effective and engaging. So back in 2005, I made it my mission to design and distribute high-end, remedial products as well as memorable, motivating lessons that bring delight to learning.

Inferences are often tricky to teach and challenging for students to learn. They are abstract notions or concepts that are implied through language or images. Therefore, concrete ways of learning have to be placed aside and students have to learn to uncover hidden messages. Personally, I like to use advertisements for my lessons.
Here are a number of strategies that can help you to teach
this skill:
1)
Magazine advertisements often have hidden
messages to help entice buyers.
Look at magazine ads and discuss the inferences. Consider the colors, backgrounds,
expressions, layouts and more.
2)
Likewise, billboards offer inferences. Look at all the details in the
image and discuss what the billboards are trying to sell and what in the images
makes you want to buy that product.
3)
Similarly, television commercials can offer some
wonderful opportunities for students to practice their inference skills. Again, ask yourself what they are
wanting you to buy and what strategies they use to tempt possible customers.
If you would like to purchase a product that has already
compiled images for you as well as other inference activities and a game, you
can come learn more about my product, Making Inferences: The Fun and Easy
Way. You can even download a
freebie sampling of the activities! http://goodsensorylearning.com/making-inferences.html
