The main aim of this thread within the Kinetic Letters lessons are to "build physical strength to help with concentration and the ability to hold and manoeuvre the writing tool for extended periods of time without tiring" (Margaret Williamson)
Through a series of different activities, the children will develop their;
- pelvic girdle strength
- shoulder girdle strength
- forearm and wrist strength
- hand and finger strength
The Animal Positions
The children can also be encouraged to use these positions at home e.g. watching the television or using their tablet whilst in the Lizard position, listening to a story in the Lion position, reading their reading book in the Gorilla position.
