Testimonials

"I'm excited to be part of Rhymes with Reason because as a public school educator we're constantly looking for ways to engage our students, and this has been a great one. As a superintendent, we're trying to support our teachers, and the thing that really drew me to RwR is that there's a continuum of students with strengths and areas they need to grow, so we have to adapt our teaching to address every learner. These kids listen to music all the time, so when they start to make connections to the vocabulary through these lessons, it clicks for them."
Olympia Della Flora
District leadership, Maple Heights
"It's been very exciting to see the mastery for some of our kids, the high engagement in our classrooms, and just seeing how much they've grown. We're using it in our reading intervention courses, so for students identified as below grade level in reading, usually 3 days a week."
Jessica Jason
Reading intervention, Milkovich Middle School
"My students try to sneak off and listen to music on their phones in class and I keep catching them, so I'm like... why not use music as a learning tool? Rhymes With Reason - that's what it is!"
Charles Muhammad
4th Grade Teacher, Monarch School, San Diego, CA
