Summary

Move 2 Learn (M2L) is a 10-week movement and pre-literacy program for preschool aged children and their parents designed to improve both movement and reading skills as well as support their overall cognitive, physical, and psychological development. This study will be using a randomized wait-list controlled trial design to evaluate the program on several outcomes: motor skills, pre-literacy skills, cognitive function, perceived physical competence, and physical activity. Children ages 3 to 4 years with typical development will be randomized to either start the program immediately or enter the wait-list control group to begin the program after a 10-week control period. The outcomes will be assessed for all children three times, at week 0, week 11, and week 21 to evaluate change over time in both groups.
