Embedding Motor Activities into Inclusive Preschools
Yang, Hsiu-Wen; Ostrosky, Michaelene M.; Favazza, Paddy C.; Stalega, Melissa V.; Block, Marty E.
Grantee Submission
During the preschool years children develop many new skills, including gross motor abilities, which serve as a foundation for school readiness skills in areas such as language, socialization and cognition. Like other domains, motor skill development does not happen without practice opportunities. That is, it requires multiple opportunities whereby children engage in physical activities to become proficient at skills such as marching, climbing, and throwing. The purpose of this article is to describe strategies that teachers can use to encourage and facilitate all children's participation in motor activities within inclusive preschool settings.
