I am a homeschooling mom with two kids, one on the autism spectrum. I am always looking for evidence based resources to build my kids literacy skills— especially tools that my son will gravitate to, such as music! Kathy’s music therapy curriculum is a perfect combination! I love how clear it is with explicit learning objectives and how engaging the songs are. We have enjoyed learning with Alphabet Stew and Chocolate too, and highly recommend!

I’ve taught primary grades and worked with children as a music therapist throughout my whole career so have lots of experience with learning to read and all that it entails. I think your insights are clear and useful and well researched. I have been using this resource with my clients and find it easy to use. I love how things are broken down into chunks. I definitely recommend this to other therapist/teachers who are helping their clients to learn how to read.
