Reading and Writing with Rhythm

Engage diverse students and enhance their content-area learning with the fun and exciting lessons, activities, and materials provided in this book. This resource, by Dr. Rosalie Fink, applies a fresh new approach to teaching content-area material by integrating the arts, particularly rhythm and rhyme, into instruction. With easy-to-follow instructions, teachers can guide students to create raps, scripts, discussion questions, and more in order to promote engagement. By using rhythm and rhyme to teach specific materials, students will be more likely to retain the information, master the content being taught, develop literacy skills, and meet standards goals. The strategies outlined in this book will not only motivate teachers of all subjects to use these innovative educational approaches, but they will help students begin to master content knowledge and literacy skills, thus building a new-found confidence and excitement of learning.
