Children have a natural tendency to wiggle.
In my 30 years as an administrator, I haven't seen a program that has prompted so much parent enthusiasm. The kids love it, and so do the parents. These animals represent the lowercase letters that form the word cat. Now assign each animal its beginning letter sound, and then, simultaneously, lock those sounds into memory with a corresponding body movement to suggest a cat washing its face, a snapping alligator and a tiger with outstreached arms. Students learn the sounds of the alphabet as well as advanced phonemic concepts through their eyes, ears, mouth, and body.
