Brain Gym Alphabet Edit A B C D E F G l t r r t t l H I J K L M N l r t t r l l O P Q R S T U t t l r t r r V W X Y Z t l l l r Alphabet Edit This involves reading aloud the letters of the alphabet from beginning to end and end to beginning. Each letter is accompanied by an action – l is a left arm raise, r is a right arm raise and t is both arms together. Brain Gym Why do it? Alphabet edit connects left and right brain, helps eye co-ordination and improves visual, auditory and kinaesthetic ability.

With one arm extended in front of you and your thumb pointing upwards trace the shape of a figure eight in the air. The eight should be on its side and as you trace it out in large, slow movements focus you’re your eyes on your thumb. Without moving your head trace out three eights in successively larger movements. Repeat with the other hand and then repeat with both hands clasped together.

It connects right and left visual fields and improves balance and co-ordination. Also helps with reading and long term memory.
