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. 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. If you would like to try a free sampling of my activities , CLICK HERE . How Are the Products Organized at Good Sensory Learning?

Factoring and Multiples - Fun and Memorable Lessons and Activities

Creating magical activities for struggling math students is one of my favorite things to do. Teaching fun memory strategies, hooking techniques, color coded steps, drawing strategies, and color implementation can be the secret weapon to igniting joy in the learning process.
Over the years, I have found that many of my students have trouble with factoring and multiples. As a result, I have created a new publication to make the learning process both enjoyable and memorable for both the teachers and the students. Now, teachers have all the tools that they need to teach these concepts in a multisensory and effective way. Students can learn the concept once and continue to remember the process over time.

What’s My Method?
teaching factoring
  • All of the following strategies are integrated into my publication Mathemagic Magical Math Instruction: Factoring and Multiples.Memory Strategies: Implementing memory strategies helps students encode the new material.
  • Hooking Techniques: Presenting hooking techniques is ideal for anxious learners that tend to forget what they know in testing situations. This strategy enables learners to see the answer in the question.
  • Sequence of Steps: Breaking down math computations into a series offers a step by step approach.
  • Drawing Strategies: Offering drawing activities allows creative learners to come up with their own, self-generated strategies.
  • Color Implementation: Providing coloring activities helps to make the learning process fun and relaxing.
  • Game Integration: Creating fun, interactive games as well as suggested kinesthetic learning activities allows students to practice in groups.
Knowing that teachers have little financial resources for teaching products, I try to make my materials as affordable as possible. Your time is money, and for only $5.99 you can download these multisensory lessons, activities, and games. If you would like to purchase this product, CLICK HERE.

Cheers, Dr. Erica Warren

10 Free Ways to Improving Visual Tracking for Weak Readers

While reading, tracking across the page from one line to the next can be tricky when the text is small, but for students with dyslexia or weak reading skills, it can be a problem regardless of the font size.  So why is this the case?  Perhaps one of the problems is poor tracking skills. What Exactly is Tracking? Tracking is the ability for one's eyes to move smoothly across the page from one line of text to another. Tracking difficulties happen when eyes jump backward and forward and struggle to stay on a single line of text.  This results in problems such as word omissions, reversals, eye fatigue, losing your place while reading and most importantly it can impact normal reading development.   Can Tracking be Improved?
