“Literacy Physical Education is a program designed to help a specific grade level that is behind, based on the state wide reading assessment to each grade level standards. Our data shows that students who are in our 12 week class will more than double their peers and up to five the national average on the winter assessment.
“Students come to the gym every day, fifteen minutes for 12 weeks. The program begins in November and ends in January. Every lesson embeds fluency, comprehension and spelling into fun movement activities. Students in this class learn how to combat “learned helplessness” by the end of the 12 weeks. Students will use whiteboards, markers and towels as their learning tools. Paper and pencil is another option for you to use. Possibly iPads?
