Well, this was one interesting solution that a parent and I came up with for a struggling with reading fluency fifth-grader who happened to be an excellent baton twirler... tape a passage to read on the wall and have her do a repetitive, easy rhythmic pattern with her baton. Try reading along to the cadence of the pattern. It worked quite nicely for her.
Promising research articles have begun to show a correlation between the two. Try encouraging your struggling reader to do it while walking on a treadmill, pushing himself back and forth on a scooter board, or rocking in a rocking chair. Think out of the box on this one, but no bike riding, unless of course it's stationary! Let us know any creative ways you find to help your struggling readers with movement!
