| Tangible Benefits: What Alphabet Fitness Accomplishes |
|
Alphabet Fitness is fun, healthy, anatomy-linked learning that can give your child a considerable advantage as he or she embarks on the lifelong journeys of physical fitness and literacy. Like mini-atheletes, Alphabet Fitness kids develop:
• Fundamental reading readiness skills
• Fluency of letters, words and associated body movements
• Improved accuracy and long-term retention
• Physical, emotional, and communicative agility
• Word-linked cardiovascular & respiratory fitness
• More stress-free language
• Multilingual muscles!
Why The Need?
In today's less active, fine-motor-educated brains and bodies, excess muscle tension limits accuracy and retention abilities. Statistics continue to reflect alarming correlations between inactive learning styles and stress-related disorders, childhood obesity, and reading difficulties:
• 40% of third-graders read below grade level
• 21 million Americans cannot read at all
• 1 in 6 children over age 6 are now classified as obese
Additionally, recent events in the ever-changing landscape of education and early learning call for the benefits of Alphabet Fitness, including:
• Continuing changes in state and national educational mandates in the areas of literacy, language acquisition, and fitness
• Educational funding challenges due to the Leave No Child Behind law
• The need to counterbalance the over abundance of sedentary vs. active learning tools for children.
• 50% of children who live in poverty in the U.S. learn to read in a language other than their own (Dr. Lesley Morrow, IRA president)
Alphabet Fitness kids create strong, physical memory links to language.
