A Word about Right & Left

The Ready-Steady-Move program promotes the integration of both right and left brain hemispheres
for optimum learning. Most human activities cross-reference between right and left, so it's imperative that both sides of the brain are developed simultaneously in young children.

What's the Connection?

New research indicates that most of the brain is activated during physical activity – much more than when sitting quietly. Movement increases blood circulation for improved delivery of oxygen, water, and glucose to the brain; stimulating the learning centers in young children.

• The Right Brain: The right hemisphere is the seat of emotions and intuition. Right-side brain functions can be stimulated through music, song and exercises that involve paying attention to timing, acting out stories, or similarly structured movements.
• The Left Brain: The left hemisphere houses logical skills such as maths, language and speech. Left-side brain functions can be developed by movements that utilize spatial memory, hand-eye coordination or exercises that involve hand gestures.

Activities for a Healthier Body + New Language

Ready-Steady-Move activities are specifically designed to help young children build healthier bodies, increasing their capacity to absorb a new language. Lessons include a wide variety of fun and challenging activities that stimulate both right and left-side brain functions, and are conducted in fun-filled and encouraging environment.
