READING & MATH WITH MOVEMENT & SENSORY INTEGRATION

reading & math programs through MOVEMENT & sensory integration 

WHY education through movement?BEST FOR learning, CONCENTRATION, SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL, and body coordination

At Kids Language Arts, we already know that igniting children's interest and hands-on lessons enhance their learning process. We also know that MOVEMENT ignites areas of the brain as well as improves neuron connections, helps to develop different areas of the brain.Kids learn best when they are able to move while learning, but also and improve their physical ability to focus to learn more effectively. Children's social-emotional well-being is dependent on human to human interactions that build their trust in others, but also learn how to trust themselves, all through well-studied techniques of physical movement methods.

While movement is integrated in academic lessons, movement and dance programs alone are being offered. Children will practice SHERBORNE developmental movement & SENSORY INTEGRATION to improve learning process, information processing, concentration, and body coordination. 

WHY LEARNING WITH SENSORY INTEGRATION ELEMENTS?

At Kids Language Arts as Educators, we strongly believe that teaching that is inspired by sensory integration elements (Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) is great facilitator in our classrooms as its main focus is impacting learning and behavior. Our teaching methods hugely involve sensory explorations and movement while teaching reading and math and foreign languages. While we are not ASI practitioners, our Educators are receiving regular and very frequent trainings that are appropriate for classroom implementation.

How can students benefit from classes and tutoring sessions with sensory integration elements?

-provides encouragement to learn through engaging games and activities

-channeling hyperactivity and negative behavior through activities that naturally promote focus while learning lesson content

-supports language development

-fine and gross motor skills fine and gross motor skills

-developing executive skills and problem solving

-improves concentration 

WHY SHERBORNE DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT?

- Improve emotional and physical literacy

- Extend and improve communication and creative expression

- Build learning power, challenge thinking and increase problem solving

- Create pathways for inclusion; enable differentiated, productive engagement leading to positive achievements

- Support for effective learning and concentration 

WHAT IS PROPRIOCEPTION?

To understand what proprioception is, close your eyes and hold out your hands. Move your arms and hands around. Even with your eyes closed, can you tell how far or close your hands are from your body? That’s your proprioceptive sense at work!

Proprioception is the body awareness sense. It tells us where our body parts are without having to look for them. This helps to know where body parts are relative to each other, which strengthens our coordination skills. It also tells us how much force to use when we’re holding, pushing, pulling, or lifting objects. Proprioception is detected by special receptors in the muscles, tendons, and skin. Those receptors communicate with our brain to tell us where our body parts are in space. It is extremely important that a child develops adequate proprioception by the age of 13, however, it can still be greatly improved even after that age.
