Learn to Move, Moving Up!: Sensorimotor Elementary School Activity Themes

Sensory, play-based and literacy instruction―all in one! Using the same easy-to-use format as her first book, Learn to Move, Move to Learn, Jenny Clark brings us a series of effective sensory-based activities for older school-aged children! These literacy-rich lesson plans include specially designed curriculum suggestions and underscore how activities can be adapted to meet state and national standards. Learn to Move, Moving Up! Sensorimotor Elementary-School Activity Themes also contains a thorough, up-to-date discussion of sensory disorders; assessment and evaluation considerations, including a reproducible teacher observation checklist; evidence-based best-practices; how to integrate lessons into inclusive elementary school environments; as well as learning enrichment suggestions.
