Neuro Dynamix Resources
Each of the Neuro Dynamix resources is designed to stimulate the fine motor skills on this list. The fine motor resources are presented in a sequence: from the most concrete and simple to the more advanced and challenging. Yes, we all want to improve a learner’s writing and reading -but if more writing and reading could have improved their skills, they would have improved already, wouldn’t they? If more writing and reading didn’t improve their writing and reading skills it is most probably because they either:
- did not know the language of learning sufficiently well or
- their fine motor muscles were not ready for the complex and abstract tasks of writing and reading or
- a combination of both.
A summary of the Neuro Dynamix resources and Mind Moves activities to support the fine muscles of the hands, feet and eyes follows:
