Maria Kay is a teacher and music and literacy specialist, currently developing and delivering literacy- through-music programmes.
′This book is very well researched and beautifully written. The
excellence and explicitness of the language will appeal to other
researchers who are interested in this subject. For all teachers
involved with young children, there is a wealth of evidence to
support the theories and precepts, together with suggested
activities, ideas, tips and examples which will, doubtless, assist
and enhance their teaching skills. Sound Before Symbol is also
exceedingly well-explained and will appeal also to mothers and
those caring for young children, as there is much to be learned
from its pages. As a student myself it provides an invaluable
resource to support my BA in Social Education. The argument for
using music to promote literacy is so compelling that I have
decided to pursue this topic myself for my research project "
- Katrine "I think this book is brilliant. Very easy to read and
understand. I found the information well presented and informative.
The author has given us tools that support not only language
development, but also the social and creative well being for our
literate adults of tomorrow "
- Jilly ′This is an interesting and useful book which makes an
important contribution to our understanding of early learning and
literacy′
