Item Text
Music instruction ... has been used effectively to aid beginning readers by reinforcing their auditory and visual reception and discrimination abilities, visual sequential memory, and language reception and expression abilities. Music experiences, thus, may foster the aquisition of students' basic communication skills. Integrated reading and music experiences, for example, may facilitate increased aural-visual discrimination and speech skills with reading and product positive attitudes toward reading.
