Clap your hands, stomp your feet, and catch the reading beat! Join Dr. Jean Feldman and discover how to have fun as you nurture literacy skills in children. Dr. Jean will demonstrate how to develop language skills through songs, music, poems, movement, talking, and reading to children.
Wednesday Morning, August 5, 2015
You learn on your feet, not on your seat! When children move, dance, and wiggle, more senses are activated and the message is more likely to get to the brain. Music and movement also emit endorphins which make you happy. In this workshop we’ll revisit many of the songs and games you played as a child and you’ll discover how to use them as a springboard for developing skills.
Wednesday Afternoon Make and take
