What Are Sound Movements
Sound movements are a simple movement-based 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 individual letters, paired letters, and clustered letters within words. Note: We call them solo, partner, and team sounds, respectively. As a bonus, the movements are a physical method readers can use to make it easy to blend sounds together when sounding out or spelling words.
Note: These Sound Movements have been revolutionary in helping all children learn to read. They are OPEN SOURCE to all curriculum developers to advance the entire industry of learn-to-read solutions. Learn more at openreading.com.
