Juggling
will improve your students' reading ability!
Literacy
Coaches were already aware of what researchers recently proved:
Learning to juggle alters the brain structure in the area of
visual processing. The saccadic left-right eye movement and brain
stimulation in juggling makes it easier for people to read. It is
that simple.
Education World said, "Improvements in
concentration, eye-hand coordination, fine motor
skills, reading, and behavior are just some of the benefits of
juggling cited by educators." To

juggling builds the brain.

Literacy
Workshop
Paul
goes into schools for a week, teaching three or four workshops per
day, limited to 25 students per workshop. He then wraps up the
week with a motivational school assembly promoting
literacy and perseverance. He provides all the equipment - schools
provide the students and
the gym or auditorium. Classrooms will work also.
Fourth
Graders learn how to balance objects, a self-reinforcing way of
building concentration habits
and self control. This workshop gives teachers a tool for building
the attention span of
their students in a motivating and measurable way.
Seventh
Graders learn the elements of juggling three objects. This builds
concentration, self
control, coordination, self esteem and the brain's visual
processing center.
