Using music to enhance language arts learning...

As an educator, speech-language pathologist, and songwriter I find music to be a powerful communicative tool.

My language arts curriculum guide uses music and lyrics from my CD, On Clear Water. The lyrics encourage students to internalize and express values of caring for the world and each other while they are learning.

The On Clear Water Language Arts Curriculum Guide is designed to support the goals and objectives of the

Massachusetts English Language Arts Curriculum Framework <Click Here!>

It directly addresses portions of the language, reading and composition strands, specifically standards 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 15, and 23.

My language arts curriculum guide will help teachers of grades K-12 and SLPs use songs from On Clear Water to focus discussion and activities in the following areas:

Language

Reading and literature

Composition

Auditory processing

Getting along with one another

As students listen to and study the songs from On Clear Water, they will be able to:

Express ways we can be kind to the earth and each other

Improve language processing skills

Improve language production skills

Improve auditory processing abilities.

I have used this curriculum guide with a cross section of students since 1998 with positive results. My hope is that others will find it of benefit in the classroom or as a speech-language therapy tool..

In this second edition, I have added language and auditory processing goals, objectives, and sample tasks. Classroom teachers as well as speech-language pathologists can now use it separately or concurrently.
