Rock 'n' Read Project

WHO WE ARE
The Rock 'n' Read Project helps families, educators, and organizations use singing and basic music skills to develop young brains for reading. 

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE NEUROSCIENCE OF READING
Research has revealed that auditory processing is the KEY to reading, and that singing and basic music skills develop auditory processing. For example, children who cannot pat a steady beat are likely to struggle with reading.

WHAT WE OFFER

1. A free Musical Fitness Assessment to use with young children
2. A Song a Day! Brain Prep for Pre-Readers, a curriculum of 50 fun, short lessons for PreK-K children
3. Workshops for early childhood and kindergarten teachers

OUR EVIDENCE
Data analysis about Rock 'n' Read Project's results found:

1. 1st graders with better music skills (as assessed on the Musical Fitness Assessment) scored higher, on average, on the FastBridge reading assessment.
2. PreK and K students' basic music skills improved significantly after participating in 50 daily lessons for 10 weeks.
3. 2500 elementary students made one year (avg.) gain on the MN state reading test (MCA) after using a singing-based software program for 14 hours.
