Multisensory approaches and learning styles theories have been found to be effective in developing strategies to teach diverse learners in the elementary school setting. This paper examines how learning styles theory is related to multisensory approaches to teaching, describes a multisensory approach and the reading styles method, and discusses how educational programs using these approaches have been effective in improving student achievement. The paper concludes with recommendations for teachers to identify their students' learning styles and take them into consideration when designing instruction, and for administrators to provide training about learning styles and multisensory approaches.
