Let’s learn together
Who it’s for
Elementary-aged children (approx. 5–11) who are developing literacy in English and/or additional languages. All levels are welcome.
What children will gain
Core literacy skills: phonological awareness, decoding/encoding, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension through explicit instruction and playful practice.
Cognitive development: working memory, attention, and cognitive flexibility strengthened with short, brain-friendly routines and games.
Multilingual advantage: strategic transfer across languages (sound-symbol mapping, morphology, cognates) to accelerate reading growth.
Creative confidence: songwriting, rhythm work, and dramatic reading to build voice, expression, and public-speaking ease.
How we teach
Evidence-based & structured: clear routines (I do → We do → You do), decodable texts, and cumulative practice.
Music-integrated: rhythm, call-and-response, and simple composition to internalize syllables, stress patterns, and fluency.
Playful & purposeful: stations for word play, writing, and inquiry; movement breaks aligned with attention science.
Inclusive & culturally responsive: children’s languages and backgrounds are assets we use to unlock meaning and motivation.
Progress you can see
Short, child-friendly check-ins track growth in foundational skills and comprehension. Families receive quick updates with practical at-home tips (5–10 minutes, no special materials needed).
Format
Available as after-school small groups, workshops, or in-school residencies. Materials provided; no prior music experience required.
Outcome
Stronger, more confident readers and thinkers—ready to use their skills across languages, subjects, and everyday life.
