Music and rhymes can be used to make learning information easier. There are many benefits to using music to help you remember things:
- it's fun
- allows for creativity
- allows you to work in groups
- helps you to recognize and remember patterns easier
- allows you to do something different
For an example let's say there's a set of terms you need to know how to spell. If you place those to music or to a certain rhythmic pattern they become easier to remember.
Think about how easy it was to learn your ABCs. They were placed to music so you were able to pick them up easier. Sometimes when we are trying to think of the order of our ABCs we sing the song in order to recall the location of the particular letter.
You can even add in claps, stomps, and dancing if that will help you learn the material. At times when working on sight words I have used motions to help the students remember the words.
Older students will create a rap or song to help remember facts.
Whatever works for you go for it! Be creative and gain the knowledge that you need through song or dance!
