Music is an underused superpower in early reading instruction — let’s change that!
Research shows that learning to read and learning music are highly correlated, complementary processes. When teachers harness this connection, students benefit from stronger language pathways, improved attention, and deeper engagement.
This webinar unpacks the evidence and turns it into practice. You’ll learn how to integrate purposeful musical activities into your reading block, aligned with the
six pillars of effective reading instruction and grounded in best‑practice pedagogy.
If you’re an early reading teacher looking for strategies that are both research‑aligned and classroom‑ready, this session is for you.
Learning outcomes:
- Articulate the link between early reading acquisition and music
- Introduce neuromusicology and implications for teaching
- Model the integration of early reading and music teaching
- Share teaching strategies that enrich early reading and music acquisition
