1: Kids love it! Singing breathes life and joy in to learning, unlike “skill and drill” repetitive reading exercises. Our most common feedback: “This is the most fun we’ve had in school all day!”
2: The magic of self-motivation. After kids sing, they receive a score based on how in tune they performed, and the software tracks their highest score – just like a video game. Kids can’t wait to start and they don’t want to stop.
3: Rereading – the strategy that builds skills. To beat their score, children sing a song 5, 10 or 20 times. And each time, before they vocalize, they silently read the lyrics three times. No wonder their reading improves!
4. From failure to success. Students who struggle with reading are usually falling behind in other classes – and feeling unsuccessful. With TUNEin™ to READING, they can receive singing scores of 80, 90 or even 100, creating new confidence and self-esteem.
5. Reading research supports our approach. TUNEin™ to READING develops the three of the five key skills recommended by the National Reading Panel: fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
6. Music is Velcro for the brain: Brain research documents the intriguing links between music, memory and language. It also underscores the importance of multi-sensory learning and differentiated instruction, both supported by TUNEin™ to READING .
