Moving through Literacy
This website was created as a resource for Alberta primary teachers to use while teaching literacy skills. As a physical education major, I have a strong passion and interest in active learning and movement based activities. As a Kindergarten teacher, I have noticed how many kids struggle to sit still and how their desire to move affects their concentration and focus levels. Early literacy is fundamental to a child's success as it builds a foundation for their future.
For my Professional Inquiry Project, I chose to research how early literacy skills can be taught through movement based activities. I chose to create an activity bank for teachers to easily access these activities. This activity bank is based on fundamental movement skills taught in physical education and is a daily physical activity (DPA) and cross-curricular integration resource. I have designed my website as a compilation of various movement based early literacy activities. Teachers can easily find movement based activities for each of the general learning outcomes in the Alberta Language Arts Program of Study.
