Method and device for multi-sensory learning

A method for teaching the shape, pronunciation of the phonetically correct sound, and name of the letters of the alphabet utilizing the technique of multi-sensory tactile impressions, comprising:

• a plurality of pages, each of said pages containing an illustration of said letter's or said combination of letters' shape, an illustration of a commonly associated word, and an illustration of a common object corresponding to said commonly associate word with said letter or said combination of letters;
• said letter or combination of letters' name, said commonly associated word, said illustration of common object corresponding to said commonly associated word, and said pronunciation of said phonetically correct sound are illustrated on each of said plurality of pages as a consolidated pneumonic device consisting of a sequence of letter, picture and sound;
• said illustration of said letter or said combination of letters further comprising a plurality of evenly proportioned raised structures evenly distributed along said letter's or said combination of letters' shape;
• wherein said letter's or said combination of letter's phonetically correct sound, said name, said shape, and said associated word are imprinted into said user's memory to prepare said user to learn to read and write by use of a method comprising the following steps:
• a) repetitively and continuously tracing said user's fingers in a predetermined directional path over said plurality of evenly proportioned raised structures distributed along said letter's or said combination of letters' shape;
• and
• b) simultaneously pronouncing and hearing said letter's or said combination of letters' phonetically correct sound, said name and said commonly associated word, in order to relate said letter or said combination of letters with said phonetically correct sound, said name, said shape and said commonly associated word to each other,
• c) simultaneously using said consolidated pneumonic device consisting of said sequence of letter, picture and sound over a sufficient number and duration of said repetitive and continuous tracing to facilitate the learning process.

A device for recognizing the shape, name and meaning of a plurality of numbers utilizing the technique of multi-sensory tactile impressions comprising:

• a plurality of pages, each of said pages containing an illustration of said number's name, shape, and a predetermined number of illustrations of common objects corresponding to said number,
• said illustration of said number's shape further comprises a plurality of evenly proportioned raised structures evenly distributed along said number's shape,
• said illustration of said common objects further comprises a single evenly proportioned raised structure centrally distributed in each said common objects,
• whereby, when a user repetitively and continuously traces its fingers in a predetermined directional path over said plurality of evenly proportioned raised structures in order to recognize said number's shape;
• while simultaneously pronouncing and hearing said number's name in order to relate said number's shape with said number's name, said user learns number recognition, and when said user's fingers are repetitively and continuously traced over said single evenly proportioned raised structure distributed in each said illustration of common objects corresponding to said-number said user learns said number's meaning.

A method for recognizing the shape, name and meaning of a plurality of numbers utilizing the technique of multi-sensory tactile impressions comprising:

• a plurality of pages, each of said pages containing an illustration of said number's name, shape, and a predetermined number of illustrations of common objects corresponding to said number,
• said illustration of said number's shape further comprising a plurality of evenly proportioned raised structures evenly distributed along said number's shape,
• said illustration of said common objects further comprises a single evenly proportioned raised structure centrally distributed in each said illustration of common objects,
• wherein a user learns number recognition and meaning by use of said method comprising the following steps:
• (a) repetitively and continuously tracing said user's fingers in a predetermined directional path over said plurality of evenly proportioned raised structures in order to recognize said number's shape, while simultaneously pronouncing and hearing said number's name;
• and
• (b) repetitively and continuously tracing said user's fingers in a predetermined directional path over said single evenly proportioned raised structure distributed in each said illustration of common objects corresponding to said numbers meaning.
