Nature has adapted brain circuits that not only can sequence a physical move such as jumping rope…but can also be used to organize the beginning, middle and ending of a sentence!
We've found a way to utilize these circuits through Move to Read which provides an alternative way to learn beginning literacy skills through doing rather than simply reading about or listening to them.
This innovative curriculum helps realize the need for a variety of physical activities to develop the basic motor skills associated with human movement and to develop the connection between physical and academic education.
Why MOVE?
♪ Increased Involvement = Increased Achievement
♪ Physical activity reduces stress chemicals that interfere with learning.
♪ Language has no meaning unless experienced kinesthetically. Words acquire meaning through sensory experiences.
♪ Movement and touch develop concepts such as texture, speed, levels, direction, shapes, size, distance, space, rhythm.
♪ Connection between crawling and other cross lateral movements improve reading readiness.
♪ Movements challenging the vestibular system (balance) strengthen the eye muscles and develop neural pathways that lead to eye dominance and eye hand coordination…..all physiological precursors to reading!
♪ Overweight Youth
♪ Lack of Steady Beat Activities
