A Combined Music and Writing Program Helps Second Graders Learn to Spell
Gaboury, Véronique; Lavoie, Natalie; Lessard, Andrée
International Journal of Music Education, v38 n4 p513-524 Nov 2020
This quasi-experimental study aimed to assess the effects of a music and writing program on lexical spelling in Grade 2 elementary school students. A music and writing program was developed and tested in an experimental group (n = 24) comprising a Grade 2 class in a French-language elementary school in Québec (Canada). Another Grade 2 class at the same school served as a control group (n = 23). Both groups were assessed for lexical spelling in January and May. Group comparison of the post-test results on performance and progress in lexical spelling showed significantly better scores for the experimental over the control group.
