Jeffrey Wilhelm=Kinesthetic Guru!

The following list of action strategies are from Jeffery D. Wilhelm's book Action Strategies for Deepening Comprehension. It seems Wilhelm is quite a big name in the realm of kinesthetic learning in literacy education! He will be a go-to person for this personal research journey. He presents a plethora of unique and seemingly effective ideas. After combing through his book, I have compiled a list of favorites. You can find the document under "Caitlin's Pages" on the right sidebar. The tab is labeled "Favorite Action Strategies!" I have added short descriptions to help you better understand the main concepts.

Here is the souce citation, if you'd like to check out his book on your own:
Wilhelm, Jeffery D. Action Strategies for Deepening Comprehension: Role Plays, Text-Structure Tableaux, Talking Statues, and Other Enactment Techniques That Engage Students With Text. New York: Scholastic, Inc., 2002.

He wrote a supplementary title called You Gotta BE the Book (Teacher College Press).
