Academic Songwriting: Creating Informative Songs in ELA and Science for Teachers of Grades K-4

What if your students could sing their way to stronger comprehension? In this interactive session, learn how Academic Songwriting turns science and ELA content into original songs co-created with students—boosting engagement, creativity, and standards-based learning. You’ll explore a simple five-step process—Explore, Brainstorm, Write, Sing, Move—that makes songwriting accessible to any educator, no musical background required. Along the way, you’ll guide lyric writing, incorporate movement, and use music to strengthen comprehension, social-emotional learning, and classroom community. Leave ready to help your students create joyful songs that stick long after the lesson ends.
