I am interested in the song mentioned in a previous post. It was "I
Know I Can" by Nas. I can't find that song. Do you know the exact
title?

In Vol 7, Issue 15 many of you discussed using music as a tool in the
classroom. I support this entirely. I especially believe that music
can
help teach students to become good listeners, and readers. Playing a
song
in the classroom, regardless of the genre, will capture students
interest
and make them feel as if they are taking part in relaxing activity that
is
not being critically evaluated. We can have students discuss what they
hear
after only listening to a song, then have them further analyze the music
by
distributing the lyrics.
I noticed that someone mentioned the Nas song "I know I can." This song
sends the kind of message that is very pertinent in the lives of many
young
students, especially those growing up in poverty. Many songs have
motivational messages and can be positively implemented into any
classroom,
and used as a literacy tool. Students will develop their listening
skills,
comprehension skills, and analytical skills, all through the use of
music in
the classroom. In my own experiences I have also found that many
students
feel more comfortable working with music rather than books. Developing
literacy skills through songs allows students, especially struggling
ones,
to feel non-threatened and thus allows for an increase in participation
amongst the group.
I highly recommend incorporating music into the classroom, on any level,
and
from any genre, especially to be used as a literacy tool.

I know that Linda Hoyt also recommends using instrumental music in her
books. She maintains that music supports passion and fluency. 1. it is
a
conscious interpretation of the author's style and meaning, 2. it can be
considered
an extension of the natural cadence of our language, and 3. it can be
consciously applied to many genres. I know from my work as a special
needs teacher
that it supports the brain in processing information and creates a state
of
relaxation and attention. Hoyt recommends music with 55-65 beats per
minute and
then experiment with that in poetry, sentence flency and beautifully
written
language.
She demonstrated with a read aloud and it really blew me away.

What are the titles to which you refer? *(by Hoyt) I'd like to hear
more
about her read aloud demonstration. What book did she use, and what age
group was it targeting?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where I can purchase clips that hang from your
chalkboard
to hang chart paper from?

And how do you judge 55-65 beats per minute?

I am currently teaching at a preschool for students with special
needs. One of my students has autism and is VERY engaged with books.
I think he is reading but can not tell because he talks strictly in
scripts of the books or movies that he has memorized. I have tried
checking his comprehension with picture choices from the stories to
accompany my questions but wondered if anyone had any other ideas for
me. I want so badly to be able to show his Kindergarten teachers for
next year that he is very literate and helping him to show his
comprehension skills is the first step in doing so!
Thank you in advance :)
Jenn
