Speech and Reading Ability
Reading, understanding and speaking a
language requires the ability to identify where
syllables and words begin and end. This skill
is called phonological ability and uses the same
areas of the brain used to identify and break
up sounds. These are important skills that we
gain through experience, and they help us
understand our native language and new ones.
Studies have shown that musically-trained
children have better phonological skills, which
can help them to learn words faster, develop
a richer vocabulary, and learn to read sooner.
In a 2009 Canadian study, young children
taking music lessons showed dramatic
improvement in their verbal intelligence
scores after only four weeks of training.
The gains from studying music were much
greater than for other types of arts training.
Improvements in speech and reading
are critical to success in school, where strong
literacy is a pre-requisite for nearly every
subject area, including mathematics.
