USING LITTLE SONGS IN LEARNING DISABILITIES – A CASE STUDY WITH A LEARNING DISABILITY STUDENT

Abstract

Utilization of songs in teaching by music aims at a study based on increased attention of students. Song teaching has a different effect from other methods because stimulating effect of music on human beings is stronger than other verbal expressions. This study deals with the challenges of children who have only recently learnt how to read and write and examines the effect of utilization of little songs in instruction of letters. The study dealt with a six year old child who was carrying on his reading and writing activities. It was ensured to utilize little songs in teaching this little child, who was detected as with learning difficulty in the outcome of the test conducted, in learning the preliminary level vowels "A" and "E". As observed later, it was seen that the child gave reactions faster than he did to the traditional methods. It was determined that the child with difficulty in recognizing and writing these said two letters has started to learn much more effectively through this method.
