How can teachers guide students’ oral reading—changing it from a plodding monotone to a fluid, expressive voice? By integrating music into the teaching of language arts! This participatory workshop for educators explores connections between the elements of music and language. Participants learn strategies for using music to increase students’ interest in the rhythmic patterns of word relationships, teach metric poetry, develop students’ listening skills, build interpretation and oral presentation skills, and improve reading fluency. A must for teachers of English language learners!
Led by returning Kennedy Center teaching artist Marcia Daft.
