Complementing in-school music education that might be geared toward onstage performance, the after-school instruction uses a Kodaly method of teaching that triggers brain development helpful in boosting math and reading aptitude, Salinas said.

She cited data from schools in Minneapolis and Rhode Island that suggest Kodaly boosted elementary students’ academic achievement. To measure the impact of the local program, student scores on the school’s normal assessments will be compared with a control group of peers.

Salinas said the simple songs taught in the program are like secret codes, easily remembered patterns that build the brain’s sequencing ability.

nvented spelling is "an attempt by beginning writers to spell a word

when the standard spelling is unknown"; it involves using "whatever knowledge

of sounds or visual patterns the writer has," notes Bank Street College (1997).

Burns, Griffin, and Snow (1999) point out the value of invented spelling in

allowing young children to express their thoughts in writing:

"It is important for parents and teachers to understand that invented spelling

is not in conflict with correct spelling. On the contrary, it plays an important

role in helping children learn how to write. When children use invented spelling,

they are in fact exercising their growing knowledge of phonemes, the letters

of the alphabet, and their confidence in the alphabetic principle. A child's

'iz' for the conventional 'is' can be celebrated as quite a breakthrough!

It is the kind of error that shows you that the child is thinking independently

and quite analytically about the sounds of words and the logic of spelling."
