This interactive session will explore how singing and music support early literacy skills in young children. Participants will learn how music can be used to enhance phonological awareness, vocabulary development, and listening skills, and will leave with practical strategies for using music in daily routines to foster language development.
By the end of this session, the learner will be able to:
- Identify key ways in which music supports the development of early literacy skills in children, including phonological awareness and vocabulary development.
- Demonstrate strategies for incorporating music and singing into daily routines to promote early literacy and listening skills.
- Explain how various types of music (e.g., nursery rhymes, lullabies, action songs) can enhance cognitive, social-emotional, and language development in children from birth to 5 years.
