Language Arts

I think using music as an enrichment for language arts can be very helpful for some students. Their are many ways you can use music with language arts. I think the most basic thing is the alphabet song. We have a song to help us learn the alphabet, it only makes sense to use songs to help us learn parts of speech and even comma rules. My experiences with music and language arts has been very helpful. I remember a teacher who taught us the being verbs to a song and dance. I still hear that song in my head to help me remember them and it 12 years later. I also had a teacher use a chant to teach the genres of literature. Once again this is one concept I have never forgot. So I think using music in teaching Language arts would be a great idea for all teachers.
