This is now being recommended as the principal methodology for children with Learning Difficulties, or Differences. Each person has a different sense which is dominant and preferential, so we should cater to the whole variety of senses.

I should write a separate entry on that one day. Until then, enjoy these lovely graphic summaries, that can be used as Aide Memoire after reading the DI article above.
