Engage all learners in your Catholic Religion Education class or family by making your lessons multi-sensory. Educational research has shown that teaching approaches that actively involve the learner through sensory experiences make lessons both more enjoyable and more memorable, thus improving learning outcomes. Multi-sensory approaches have been shown to be particularly effective for children with learning differences.
