Embedding Movement and Motor Skills in ELA
Ideas for Teacher-Therapist Collaboration in English Language Arts
COMING SOON!
Do you want to integrate more physical activity and motor skill practice—both gross and fine motor—in the classroom? Want to collaborate more effectively with teachers to support students’ development?
Integrate movement and motor skills into English Language Arts (ELA) instruction now! Amy kicks off this course by sharing research on the links between physical activity and learning, providing valuable evidence you can use to help teachers get on board. She will introduce key literacy strategies that will help you understand, communicate, and align with ELA teachers for greater impact.
Amy will illustrate multiple creative activities that seamlessly incorporate movement into teaching phonics, phonemic awareness, word recognition, reading fluency, contextual understanding, and more. She will also guide you in designing movement activities based on children’s books, making learning more interactive and fun.
Leave this course with a toolkit full of practical, easy-to-implement ideas that support physical activity, motor skills, and ELA learning! Closed Captioned in English!
