for Whole-Child Engagement

Key Takeaway #2: If We Care about Early Literacy, We Have to Care about Physical Literacy

The Synergistic Effect of Teaching a Combined Explicit Movement and Phonological Awareness Program to Preschool Aged Students

Deborah Callcott, Lorraine Hammond, and Susan Hill

Early Childhood Education Journal, 2015

“Findings suggest that teaching pre-primary aged children early literacy and movement in tandem is more beneficial than teaching either in isolation.”

A Quasi-Experimental Study of a Movement and Preliteracy Program for 3- and 4-Year-Old Children

Chloe Bedard, Emily Bremer, Wenonah Campbell, John Cairney

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2017

“The results of this study show that participation in a direct instruction, community-based, parent-oriented movement and preliteracy program can significantly improve movement and preliteracy skill levels of preschool children with typical development.”

Key Takeaway #4: Mindful Movement and

Stillness Are for YOU Too

"I just finished my regular storytime, and I threw in a few yoga-inspired touches. It was amazing! I can’t stop smiling! An adult came up at the end with a big smile on his face and said, 'This was magical.' That’s one of the greatest compliments I’ve received in my career. I realize the practices I did weren’t that different from my typical programs. However, I was very intentional in my planning and presentation, rather than just running on autopilot as it’s easy to do when you’ve been doing the same thing for a decade. That intentionality made a big difference in how I felt, how I connected with the group, and how they received what I was doing. And there are so many lessons in that for every facet of my life."
