EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The materials in question, "ABC Music & Me," are needed to provide a strong support for the development of literacy and writing through the use of music in young children. Research demonstrated that "Kindermusik" not only helps develop the brain, but has an impact on reading comprehension, verbal memory, listening skills, vocabulary, phonological and phonemic awareness, writing and print awareness. This program also provides a strong parent component that helps parents become involved in the active learning of their young students.
