Music & Words
Season 2024
Episode 15
Experiencing and playing with sounds, expressions, and gestures helps children learn about language. The additional step of connecting music with printed words supports children’s early understanding that print carries meaning. Families can make this connection by reading – and singing! – from books that are based on song lyrics.
