The ability to help children develop language

According to a study by Northwestern University, children with musical perceptibility can handle sound well while reading and language skills are also more proficient .

Scientists have conducted a vocal skills test of 124 students from Chicago, USA. Each student was tested for their rhythmic ability, then scientists measured the brain's response to these sounds.

Dr. Nina Kraus, director of Northwestern Neuroscience Research Institute and author of the study, said: 'When the ear hears sounds, neurons in the brain transmit electrical impulses so we can get these signals ".

After comparing the results, Dr. Kraus and her team found that the students with the best vocal ability were those whose brains reacted to the strongest sounds, which were also signs that followed researchers. saving is closely related to reading comprehension and language skills.

'People create sound to communicate. When people read, people know how to link what we hear and the words we see in the book, ' said Dr. Kraus.

The ability to link sounds and words in books plays an important role in developing children's reading comprehension skills.

Previous studies have demonstrated that when neurons in children respond slowly to sound, children will have difficulty reading and learning languages ​​that will even lead to dyslexia.

In addition, Dr. Kraus points out the ability to handle sound involves the ability to listen to the sound of crowds, a skill that is essential in a classroom environment.

This study has shown the importance of music to children, such as promoting listening and reading skills and audio memorization.
