Students will tap out syllables in words on the rhythm sticks and tap each word in a sentence to build reading fluency. They'll also create musical patterns that the class can copy and repeat, helping them develop listening and sequencing skills. We'll even use the instruments to count taps and practice writing numbers, turning math into a hands-on, musical experience.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the opportunity to learn through play, movement, and creativity.
