What literacy skill is primarily promoted when a teacher incorporates purposeful movements during a story?

  1. Print concept awareness

  2. Vocabulary acquisition

  3. Sight word recognition

  4. Phonological awareness

The correct answer is: Vocabulary acquisition

When a teacher incorporates purposeful movements during a story, the primary literacy skill being promoted is vocabulary acquisition. Engaging students in movements while storytelling creates a dynamic learning environment that enhances their understanding and retention of new words. This kinesthetic approach connects physical activity with verbal content, making it easier for learners to grasp the meanings of words and contextually link them to actions. Movement helps to reinforce the vocabulary as learners actively participate in the storytelling process, allowing them to internalize new terms through physical representation. Additionally, this method can stimulate interest and motivation, which further supports vocabulary development. By associating words with specific movements, students can create mental connections that aid in memory and recall, leading to a richer vocabulary and more effective communication skills.
