Building Brain and Body Connections by Jack Hartmann examines how the brain and body play vital roles in developing reading skills. When children move, balance, cross the midline, and coordinate their bodies, they activate multiple areas of the brain at the same time. These integrated experiences strengthen neural pathways that support attention, memory, language processing, and visual tracking, which are all essential components of reading.
As the brain and body work together, children develop stronger motor planning and sensory integration, which contribute to smoother decoding, improve comprehension, and increase reading fluency. By incorporating purposeful movement into learning, educators support whole-child development and build a strong foundation for successful reading and lifelong literacy.
