What Are
Sound Movements

Sound movements are a gross motor learning strategy for beginning readers to remember the letter sounds and the correct formation of the mouth when saying the letters' sounds. They make it easy to recognize the solo letters, paired letters, and cluster letters within words. They are also a physical way to aid readers in blending sounds together when sounding out and spelling words.

www.britannica.com: “ In addition to speech production, the Broca area of the brain also is involved in language comprehension, in motor-related activities associated with hand movements, and in sensorimotor learning and integration.
