Hence, the English Language syllabus is designed to mould the pupils to become a skilful learner at an early age. One of the skills that they have acquired as early as in Standard 1 is the reading skills. There are varieties of strategies that can be used by the teachers to help the learners' performance in mastering reading skills. One of them is through the multi-sensory approach where it involves the learners' senses throughout the activities done in the classroom. Therefore, this paper discusses how multi-sensory approach can be used as a strategy to improve learners' reading skills by improving their word recognition. It aims to explore past studies on the effective use of visual, auditory and tactile aids in the classroom as well as the learners' kinaesthetic experiences in improving their word recognition.
