Multisensory (*Multi-modal) teaching is one important aspect of instruction for dyslexic students that is used by clinically trained teachers.  Students with dyslexia need multisensory structured language (MSL) instruction. This means that teaching techniques are explicit, direct, cumulative, intensive, focused on the structure of language, and coordinating the use of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic–tactile pathways simultaneously to enhance memory and learning of written language. Connections are consistently reinforced between the symbols the student sees, the sounds the student hears, and the actions they can feel. 

The multisensory V-A-K component involves the use of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning pathways simultaneously to enhance memory and learning of written language. A skilled MSL educator provides direct instruction to ensure links are consistently made between the visual (language we see), auditory (language we hear/perceive), and kinesthetic (language symbols we feel) pathways in learning to read and spell.
