Teaching Reading and Spelling to Kids who Can’t Sit Still

Do you have a child who can’t sit still and doesn’t like to read? Join us in learning how to engage your active learners in their strongest learning mode - movement. Denise will share her own experiences teaching and parenting her extreme kinesthetic child and two active boys. She will also demonstrate how reading is not only a visual activity but has natural kinesthetic components and how to tap into those to enhance learning for all students. In this workshop we will:

• Learn active games for teaching reading and spelling.
• Develop a new appreciation of the gifts of kinesthetic learners.
• Discover the image of God revealed in active children.
• Learn how to utilize the kinesthetic gift while strengthening areas of weakness.

Though this workshop will focus on reading and spelling the concepts may be easily applied to other subjects. In addition to learning practical ways to engage your active child, Denise will inspire you in teaching and parenting each of your children in accordance with their unique God-given gifts.
