THE GRAPHIC-MUSIC ALPHABET TO IMPROVE READING-WRITING SKILLS IN STUDENTS WITH SPECIFIC LEARNING DISORDERS

Educational intervention through music can lead to improvements in language and letter discrimination, as musical sound is able to support the written symbol, Auditory stimulation through listening is a process through which the child can then improve in the area of letter comprehension through sound perception. This results in functions that, through sound stimulation, become flexible and able to connect and cooperate in order to improve the learning process. A similar mechanism has been identified by Alain Berthoz, in his studies on simplexity. The aim of the following contribution is to present music as a means of improving reading-writing skills in primary school pupils at risk of dyslexia, using the principle of simplexity deviation presented by Berthoz as a reference. This is the design of a graphic-musical alphabet book made with Scratch and combining music with writing, for an iconic and auditory stimulation that makes learning leaningful.
