Overview

Physical Education Rhyme Time Reader serves as a companion for Rhyme Time In Physical Education (A collection of rhymes and poems for teaching and learning in physical education - available at https: //www.createspace.com/3706199). While both include rhymes to use while teaching fundamental motor skills, movement concepts, health and skill related fitness, strategy, personal and social responsibility, and basic principles of movement. Rhyme Time In Physical Education was written for the physical education teacher and offers a variety of ideas for implementation that address both brain compatible learning and content literacy. Children love rhyme and song. When content is embedded they are more likely to retain and recall. Physical Education Rhyme Time Reader was created for children's hands. The font is larger and there is space left for them to illustrate thus creating a resource to use in class with students in first through fourth grade during instruction, for assessment, or during class closure. There are many ways in which this resource can be used to support learning in physical education. I created it for my use but thought other like-minded physical education teachers might be interested. I plan to purchase one for each student in first grade, have them use it at different times through the fourth grade and then send it home with them to keep at the end of that fourth grade year. As I work to develop more ways to use this teaching tool I plan to post them on www.learningonthemove.org I would love to hear ways in which you put it to use in your quest to help children learn and achieve in your classes.
