Educational intervention by means of music implies improvements in language and sound recognition related to a certain letter, as the musical sound can support the written symbol. The auditory stimulation resulting from listening is a mechanism through which the child can therefore improve in letter comprehension through sound perception. This results in functions that, through sound stimulation, become flexible and able to connect and cooperate to improve the learning process. A similar mechanism has been identified by Alain Berthoz (2011) in his studies on simplexity. The aim of the following contribution is to present music as a means of enhancing reading-writing skills in students at risk of dyslexia with reference to primary school pupils and using the principle of simplexity deviation, presented by Berthoz, as a background. This is a graphic-musical alphabet board being designed, created using Scratch and combining music with written text, designed to motivate pupils and enable them to study more independently.
L’intervento educativo per mezzo della musica conduce a dei miglioramenti del linguaggio e del riconoscimento del suono legato ad una determinata lettera, poiché il suono musicale è in grado di supportare il simbolo scritto. La stimolazione uditiva derivante dall'ascolto è un meccanismo attraverso il quale il bambino può quindi affinare la comprensione delle lettere attraverso la percezione sonora. Ne risultano funzioni che, attraverso la stimolazione sonora, divengono flessibili ed in grado di connettersi e cooperare al fine di ottimizzare il processo di apprendimento. Un meccanismo simile è stato identificato da Alain Berthoz (2011) nei suoi studi sulla semplessità. Il seguente contributo ha lo scopo di presentare la musica come mezzo per potenziare le abilità di letto-scrittura, in studenti della scuola primaria a rischio di dislessia ed utilizzando come sfondo il principio della deviazione semplessa presentato da Berthoz. Si tratta di un alfabetiere grafico-musicale in fase di progettazione, realizzato utilizzando Scratch e che combina la musica con il testo scritto, ideato per motivare l’alunno e consentirgli una maggiore autonomia nello studio.

Abstract
Educational intervention by means of music implies improvements in language and sound recognition related to a certain letter, as the musical sound can support the written symbol. The auditory stimulation resulting from listening is a mechanism through which the child can therefore improve in letter comprehension through sound perception. This results in functions that, through sound stimulation, become flexible and able to connect and cooperate to improve the learning process. A similar mechanism has been identified by Alain Berthoz (2011) in his studies on simplexity. The aim of the following contribution is to present music as a means of enhancing reading-writing skills in students at risk of dyslexia with reference to primary school pupils and using the principle of simplexity deviation, presented by Berthoz, as a background. This is a graphic-musical alphabet board being designed, created using Scratch and combining music with written text, designed to motivate pupils and enable them to study more independently.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
