Join 4th–12th Grade educators from the Southeast US for a 40-minute session exploring how Rhymes with Reason uses popular music lyrics to help students learn academic vocabulary, strengthen reading comprehension, and build confidence in the classroom.

What You'll Learn

Rhymes with Reason helps students discover academic vocabulary inside widely known music lyrics — transforming songs they already know into a gateway for reading growth. 

During this session, educators will share real classroom examples of how they use RWR to:

• Engage reluctant readers with culturally relevant content
• Strengthen vocabulary and comprehension through scaffolded lessons
• Improve reading fluency and academic confidence
• Increase participation using music as an equitable entry point for learning
• Designed for principals, reading specialists, ELA teachers, interventionists, and instructional coaches in grades 6–12.

Featured Speakers

Traditional vocabulary instruction often leaves students disengaged. Rhymes with Reason changes that by connecting academic words to real lyrics students recognize — creating a learning environment where reading feels meaningful, empowering, and equitable.

Our platform includes:

• Vocabulary lessons built from hit music students know
• Scaffolded reading comprehension activities
• Songs spanning multiple genres and decades
• Built-in assessments that track growth
• Ready-to-teach content for busy teachers

This session will show you how schools in Miami have implemented RWR — and the results they’re seeing.

Verified attendees will receive acccess to a 90 day free trial of Rhymes With Reason for up to 50 students per educator. Our team will work closely with teachers or administrators to onboard the programming with your system to ensure easy access.
