We have all learned important facts through associating them with song. Most of us learned our alphabet, days of the week, and months of the year through a simple song. This is called a "mnemonic device," which helps the brain learn best by making meaningful connections. These are powerful devices in teaching kindergarten reading.

In addition, different students learn using different methods. Much has been done to research the benefits of teaching children according to how each learns best.

The catchy, familiar tunes in For We Are Jolly Good Spellers generate interest and increase motivation and excitement for learning. This leads to frequent rehearsal of the words to enhance quick memorization. Quick memorization in turn fosters easy use in reading, writing, and spelling, resulting in higher test scores.

A chance to experience the fun of singing while learning basic words is an amazingly effective way of learning reading for young children.
