Literacy development through music and movement in early childhood
Cross-lateral movement is
necessary for the brain to be
ready to learn how to read
(Caine and Caine)
Music and movement are powerful partners…they get kids’ brains firing in all cylinders (Dr. Mike!)
Music & movement promote accelerated learning and long-term retention (DePorter & Reardon)
Motor coordination has a positive impact on reading and math outcomes (Goldstein & Britt)
Researchers found that 85% of children are kinesthetic learners …they need to move (Jenson, E.)
“Music and movement are the most powerful tools to engage young children in meaningful learning while
making teaching and learning what it should be, fun and exciting for ALL children” (Dr. Mike, 2016).
