Sage Publication : Child Language Teaching and Therapy
A growing number of reading professionals have advocated teaching literacy
through music and song; however, little research exists supporting such
practices. The purpose of this study was to determine if sung story book
readings would enhance story comprehension and narrative re-tellings in
children with histories of speech and language delay. Thirty kindergarten and
first grade children listened to story books read in either a sung or spoken
voice and were then asked to retell stories and answer story comprehension
questions. Findings revealed that story re-telling and comprehension scores
did not differ between conditions; however, certain advantages associated
with language expression and attentional focus were indicated in both
conditions.
