Who is this e-book for?
Beginning Readers
This book has the perfect resources for children who are just learning their letters and starting the journey of learning to read.
Struggling Readers
If your child is struggling to remember their letters or frustrated with sight words, this book will give them the extra practice they need in a fun format!
Why should I use Active Activities for Reading?
Research is clear that keeping children active, especially while they are learning, is vital because it activates their brain, leading to improved academic outcomes. Active Activities for Reading gives your child the opportunity to practice the alphabet, sight words, and basic phonemic awareness activities while still being active. There are no worksheets to fill out, and no chair or desk are needed either. Just a few simple supplies, your child, and their boundless energy!
​
This book is the direct result of my (Lynn) experiences as a classroom teacher and a homeschool mom. I found that reading instruction was so often a sit down activity, and it seemed that there was never enough movement and activity for reading. Young children thrive on movement and activity, so why shouldn't we allow them to continue to move while still learning to read? I want each child to have the opportunity to learn reading skills in an active, movement focused environment.
What supplies are needed?
Some activities require no supplies at all, your child will simply move their body. Other activities require a few basic items such as playdough, jump ropes or hula hoops, plastic cups, and salt or flour.
