Workshop: Juggling Workshop--Paul also offers juggling workshops to 5 - 12 year old and teens. Workshops are limited to 25 participants. Using developmentally-appropriate activities that cross the visual mid-line, strengthen eye tracking, and improve coordination, the 60-minute workshops are designed to develop the part of the brain that makes reading easier. Paul provides all the props--you provide the kids (and librarians). You can read about new research proving the benefits of juggling at www.PaulPhariss.com.
