Meet Liam, a 7-year-old with ADHD who struggles with sitting still during lessons. His teacher noticed he’s more focused when he’s using his hands. Here’s how tactile learning helped him:
- Clay modeling: Instead of just talking about shapes, Liam made them with clay, which helped him understand geometry better.
- Letter tracing: Using sandpaper letters, he traced with his fingers, making it easier to remember and recognize letters.
- Interactive math: Liam used counting blocks to solve math problems, turning abstract numbers into something he could see and touch.
Through these activities, Liam became more engaged and his understanding of the subjects improved.
