- Abstract
In this article we present multi-sensory materials for teaching academic writing, specifically paragraph structure. We aim to give an overview of multi-sensory teaching and explain why it is that paragraphing is both important and difficult. We will demonstrate some of the materials we have developed and how we use them, showing examples of students' work. Coloured text is used in this article to emphasize the main technique discussed. As specialist teachers, these ideas were originally developed for neurodiverse students, but we argue that they will be equally beneficial to any student.
