Support for Special Learners

Special Learners

The beautiful Healthier Happier songs and engaging audio-visual features support learning for every child.

Children practice their language arts skills and improve their reading speed as they follow along with the Healthier Happier song lyrics.

Special needs and ESL students

Lyrics display with every song, for easy read-along and sing-along and to support developing language arts skills. Vocabulary is provided in interactive display for discussion and vocabulary development.

Hearing-impaired students

Optional closed captioning supports every spoken word segment.

Music and learning

Research shows that music supports the development of reading and language arts skills in young children, including struggling students.

“Familiarity with songs and rhymes helps bridge the gap between speech and print and cultivate the sense that what can be sung or recited can be written or read.”

- Donald R. Bear et al. Words Their Way, 2000

“Songs selected for their patterns can familiarize children with high-frequency sight vocabulary. Songs can also be used to reinforce phonics elements in an enjoyable way.”

- Nancy Lee Cecil& Phyllis Lauritzen, Striking a Balance–Positive Practices for Early Literacy, 1999
