The Connections between Music and Reading
It has always fascinated me at Kole Intellectual Forum - the designer of the course unit of Literacy & music under child Development proclaimed - to think of all the connections music has with reading. In fact, he witnessed that: "sometimes back, I remember looking over our Institute’s literacy curriculum, thinking how nearly everything stated on those pages about reading and literacy could be very much paralleled to music study".
In that curriculum, inspired by listening to how the girls that had not known how to read and can now connect music to reading; then I went on how to explore into all the ways that can make us integrate music listening experiences into our teaching of literacy reading: we then went onto sharing music/reading with our students and then using those experiences to building reading the verses in music which currently is inspiring us by the great writing of our girls.
Not only inspired by listening to music and writing of the girls, we are also inspired by their ways of they are expressing their braveness, building their self confidence, thei ability to easily understand, music they are producing, socialization, capacity building, and so on. We are therefore very grateful, for the designer of the course unit who integrated reading into music and verse versa.
