I have a music therapy student in my Teacher as Researcher class this semester. She's made me think a little bit more about the role music might play in helping children, especially emergent readers and writers, learn to read and write more conventionally. I'll add some more thoughts later, but I wanted to share a reference I was asked about by a webinar participant today:
P. Vaiouli and A Friesen (2016). The Magic of Music: Engaging Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Early Literacy Activities with their Peers. Childhood Education, 92 (2), 126-133. I've requested a copy through inter-library loan, and I'll let you know what I think after I receive it.
