Reading Comprehension
We can't teach kids to comprehend on a high level until we help them retain on a high level
- As students retain more information from repeated reading, questioning becomes more complex.
- By incorporating music, rhythm and rhyme with repeated reading, students drastically increase retention and background knowledge.
- Lyrics2Learn questioning levels align with the Common Core Depth of Knowledge (D.O.K.) levels.

Researched-Based Fluency
National Reading Panel
The NRP reviewed 364 research studies concluding that repeated, choral and modeled reading resulted in clear and substantial improvements in reading fluency and comprehension.
UK Fluency Project
A fluency study utilizing repeated reading, choral reading, modeled reading, and other strategies integrated on Lyrics2Learn showed 17-19 months of accuracy and pace/WPM gain during a 12 week intervention
KS2 Reading Fluency Project
Using modeled reading, repeated reading and explicit teaching of phrasing/intonation, a 1,000 student organization sees average gains of 2 years and 3 months over an 8 week intervention.
Research-Based Comprehension
National Reading Panel (NRP)
The NRP reviewed 364 studies. They found that repeated, choral and modeled reading resulted in clear and substantial improvements in reading fluency and comprehension.

Fluency Development through Poetry
Research supporting the implementation of repeated reading of lyrical, poetic texts lead to improvements in word recognition, fluency, and overall reading proficiency.
The Benefits of Music
Music increases Reading Engagement and Performance.
- Fusing music, rhythm and rhyme, with the proven fluency strategies of repeated, choral and assisted reading increase student engagement and motivation to read.
- Fluency and background knowledge are key components of comprehension. By incorporating music with repeated reading, students not only increase fluency, they retain more information and rapidly build background knowledge.
- To create life-long readers, we need to help kids feel and connect to what they read. Music provokes emotion and feeling. Fusing music to text connects emotion to words in a story
