What if movement was the missing piece in learning to read?

For too long, we’ve asked young children to sit still and focus when their brains are wired for motion. In this powerful episode, I chat with Stefanie Hohl, creator of ABC See, Hear, Do, about how movement can transform early literacy, especially for children who’ve struggled with traditional methods.

Stefanie Hohl is the creator of ABC See, Hear, Do - an innovative phonics program that helps children learn to read through movement and fun. As a literacy advocate, author, and educator, she has helped thousands of children develop a love for reading. Stefanie is passionate about making learning engaging, especially for active children.

You'll hear:

👋🏼 Why expecting children to sit still is actually hindering their learning.

👋🏼 How movement enhances phonics and creates stronger neural pathways.

👋🏼 The shocking gap in teacher training around reading instruction — and how it impacts classroom confidence.

👋🏼 What teachers can do today to weave purposeful movement into literacy learning.

👋🏼 Real stories of children who couldn’t read - until movement made it click.

This episode opens up a new, evidence-aligned path and is especially valuable for educators curious about the science of reading, phonics instruction, and meeting learners where they are.
