what is Engage?
Welcome to Engage: Rhythm and Movement in the Literacy Classroom.
As a primary educator, it is my passion and mission to engage students through kinesthetic and multi-sensory movement. As Kirin Sinha once wrote for Edutopia,
“No matter how much we memorize, recite, and study, our muscle memory seems to trump our brains alone. We learn best when we combine mind and body."
In addition to amping up literacy instruction, Engage! puts inclusion at the forefront and examines curriculum and instruction through an equity lens. On this site, you'll find lyrics, chants, printables, and book recommendations.
Let's dive in!
Want to become confident in your science of reading knowledge? Looking for ways to implement the science of reading-aligned practices in your classroom? Curious about sound walls, structured literacy, and orthographic mapping? Well, Elevate! Academy is launching a new, specialized course focused exclusively on the science of reading. All this and more will be covered in this 10-module course by Holly Ehle and Jake Daggett, two of Elevate!’s featured presenters! PLUS, for those SOR experts, each module will ALSO feature a Resource Hub with lesson templates and resources.
