Because children need movement to develop their bodies and brains, it’s beneficial to embrace the bending, twisting, and wiggling that happens in early learning environments.
In this upcoming webinar, hosted by Early Learning Investigations, Stacy Benge, author of The Whole Child Alphabet: How Children Actually Develop Literacy, will explore how fine motor function depends on stable gross motor skills.
Participants will explore ways to intertwine physical experiences throughout the day to offer fun, engaging, and meaningful experiences that support development, and will leave the webinar with the confidence to understand and explain that the foundations of literacy and reading and writing skills begin on the playground. Stacy will discuss practices that support physical development and how to create learning environments that are centered around child-led play.
