Music + Arts + Literacy = ENGAGEMENT

We just returned from presenting at the Florida Alliance for Arts Education's West Coast Symposium.  It was a great day filled with many ideas for integrating arts into core subject areas.  Our presentation is called "Music + Arts + Literacy = ENGAGEMENT" and describes how we use all forms of visual and performing arts along with books to help students with their comprehension strategies. This approach to our reading intervention came began from our work with Tanny McGregor, author of  one of our favorite books: Comprehension Connections.

Using Tanny's book as a springboard has led us to discover some fabulous picture books based on music and, in turn, artwork that supports our teaching.  Here is a partial bibliography of books, art prints/paintings, music, and poems to teach each of the seven key areas of comprehension:

Definitely consider that which you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to
be on the net the easiest factor to bear in mind of.

I say to you, I definitely get irked even as folks think about concerns that
they plainly do not understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as smartly as outlined out the whole thing without having side-effects , other people can take
a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
