2.  http://www.songsforteaching.com/lb/literacymusic.htm http://www.songsforteaching.com/lb/literacymusic.htm  I began my search for links in google, with the search term "literacy in music education." This was the first hit.  This site provides some good information in an easily digestible format, but I don't consider it to be very academic. First and foremost, the.com address gives it away as a for- profit commercial enterprise. The fact that images of major credit cards with the text "purchase orders accepted" is juxtaposed with information about children's learning just erodes its credibility as a scholarly source. I included it, however, because anyone who googles "literacy in music education" will undoubtedly come across it. PROMOTING LITERACY THROUGH MUSIC BY LAURA WOODALL AND BRENDA ZIEMBROSKI

It is also.gov, furthering its credibility. This article is linked through ERIC, and appeared in the MENC journal.  This is a resource I would comfortably recommend to my colleagues. DEVELOPING LITERACY THROUGH MUSIC BY JEAN MCINTIRE

This was particularly interesting to me because I am in a pre-service teacher training program.  I would similarly recommend this title to my colleagues. LITERACY SKILLS IN MUSIC CLASS: TOOLS FOR PRESERVICE TEACHER GROWTH BY ALICE FERET AND JUDY SMITH

EARLY LANGUAGE LEARNING WITH AND WITHOUT MUSIC BY DOUGLAS FISHER

IMPROVING CHILDREN'S LITERACY, ONE NOTE AT A TIME BY JOHANNA BROWN AND STEPHEN CHAMBLEE
