A Multisensory Music Intervention for Children With Reading Disorders (RitMoZ)

This training is inspired by intervention concepts followed in SUVAG Polyclinic in Zagreb, Croatia and Kodaly pedagogy in Hungary. RitMoZ Training programme consists of 6 main activities: matching activity, nursery rhymes, rhythmic stimulations, music shapes, music writing and music reading. The training focuses on the perceptual overlap between language and music, embodiment and entrainment. The aim of the training is to improve characteristic features of reading disorders such as phonological awareness, perception of rhythm, phonological working memory and perception of speech sounds.

This training consists of activities which focus on practicing spelling words in a computer task; the aim is to train orthographic processing which is suggested to improve phonological awareness and phonological working memory.
