This webinar will explore how, and why, the content and process of developmentally appropriate music activities can support young children’s language and literacy skill development. Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of how they can easily use music to support important areas of language learning including: phonological awareness, vocabulary development, print awareness, active listening skills, and creative storytelling. In this interactive session, participants will be introduced to the ways in which developmentally appropriate and enjoyable music and movement activities can be used as a catalyst for family engagement in school and at home, ultimately creating a musical community that benefits the development of the whole child. Participants will be introduced to current research on the various types of family engagement, which can include parents’ increased participation in their child’s education in the home setting, engagement in the school setting, and the parent-teacher communication and relationship. We will then explore how music activities can be used as a tool to enrich the home learning environment and to involve parents in the school and classroom.
