No... But they love moving from station to station to read and respond to dinosaur facts. They learn phonics by forming letters with their bodies and respond to literature by acting out scenes from it. They can read from a scroll through text mapping and read as they walk along it. We can and should put more movement into reading activities. I have seen boys turned on to reading in this way
