Music can be used to help kids master the alphabet, practice the sounds of letters, develop phonemic awareness, and build phonics skills and vocabulary. Using technology teaches kids how to navigate software – even commands as simple as “stop” and “play." Combine these skills by having your child make a recording singing one of their favorite songs; add pictures to make a personal music video.
