Words & Music

Teach Language Arts Through Lyric Writing

Excite students about reading and writing through this innovative and interdisciplinary program. Words & Music allows students to tell their stories by writing original song lyrics that develop language arts skills. Students interact with a professional songwriter, who is paired with their class, for an engaging performance workshop that features student lyrics as finished songs.

Using the award-winning Words & Music Teacher’s Guide, educators lead their students through a sequential lyric-writing unit. Multimedia resources, including PowerPoints, videos, and primary sources are available in the Teacher Resource Portal.

Words & Music is also available as an outreach program in your school. See page 20.
