To clarify you are against (or I guess not in favor of) art and theatre, story-telling etc. to improve learning outcomes and interest in reading? I can sense you're being super thoughtful in your followup and I feel I might be missing your feedback, which is why I want to respectfully clarify. If what I paraphrased above truly is your position, we will have to respectfully agree to disagree. Tons of research shows that the brain synapses grow stronger through active participation in the arts/story-telling/theatre. These essential activities at an early age can actually create new neural pathways and fortify those that are already present. But again, I want to be careful to not miss your point because if you took the time to clarify, I want to make sure I beneifit from your feedback and sound like I'm ignoring it.
