Singing songs causes the greatest reading achievement in the shortest amount of time with the most enjoyment of any intervention strategy for struggling readers! 

In an accidental discovery it was found that students using a software program at home to improve their singing accuracy made dramatic gains in reading achievement!   

The software company Electronic Learning Products contacted researcher Dr. Susan Homan from the University of South Florida to investigate.  After four years of studies of over 1000 students funded by the Florida Department of Education and JustRead! ($700,000), the average gain was 1.2 years of reading achievement in 9 weeks--singing three times a week for 30 minutes.
