Essentially it is form of repeated readings -- students sing/read song lyrics repeatedly until they can read/sing the text/lyric fluently. As students practice a text, high frequency words, word family words, and high interest vocabulary words are pulled from the text, put on a word wall and word banks for furhter analysis. Gwynne Ash a professor at Texas State Univ along with a colleague had similar results with an intervention technique they called Karaoke Club. tr Timothy Rasinski 404 White Hall Kent State University Kent, OH 44242 330-672-0649 Cell -- 330-962-6251 FAX 330-672-2025 [EMAIL PROTECTED] informational website: www.timrasinski.com professional development DVD: http://www.roadtocomprehension.com/ <https://exchange.kent.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.roadtocomprehension.com/>

I find this fascinating. Could you tell us a little more? I had a low IQ ( 70's) third grader who was categorized emotionally impaired some years ago. We didn't do "levels" then, but I would say she read like a tangled first grader. She LOVED Shania Twain. I spent the summer working with her reading Shania Twain lyrics. It didn't seem to further her progress much. I would love to know more about your research.
