Can singing three times a week really improve reading fluency in struggling readers? Schools are resoundingly saying, "Yes!"
Research Supports Music Connection to Fluency
The University of South Florida has conducted a study based on singing technology motivating students to become better readers. The original program was developed in 2004 and named Carry-A-Tune which evolved into computer software with an on-screen speech recognition model. Susan Homan, professor of literacy at the University of South Florida, headed the study to determine if this music program can actually raise scores of struggling readers.
