Improve reading skills and self-esteem in dyslexical students. An intervention proposal based on music therapy.
Keywords:
Music therapy, primary education, developmental dyslexia, reading skill, self-esteemAbstract
Currently, Primary Education students may suffer from various learning disorders, which can hinder the teaching and learning process. In this sense, the most common specific learning disorder in the educational realm is called developmental dyslexia, which affects between 5-15% of students in schools, and constitutes 80% of the diagnoses of learning disorders. This disorder is a major obstacle to reading acquisition in students who have it, thus affecting their reading skills, academic performance, motivation, self esteem and self-confidence. In addition, emotional and behavioural problems may be encountered, as well as school drop-out situations. It is evident that this disorder generates an important educational need in this regard and therefore this article proposes the design of an intervention plan based on the area of music therapy to promote reading skills and self-esteem in students with dyslexia in primary education, thus highlighting the great therapeutic value of music and its effectiveness in the treatment of this disorder.
