Encourage Movement

Moving our bodies helps to build our brains and prepare our muscles for writing, too! (Miller, 2006)

Many books have songs and movement that accompany them! CLICK HERE for a song for the story, The Dot, by Peter H. Reynolds. The song is written and performed by Emily Arrow. CLICK HERE to find Emily Arrow on the internet.

Sing songs, dance, exercise, build and so much more! GoNoodle is a wonderful, free app for incorporating movement into your child’s day!
