How it works

Four beats to stronger reading

Each track follows the same simple rhythm, so practice stays predictable and progress builds over time.

  1. 1

    Read along

    Students follow leveled text set to music, rhythm and rhyme, reading with the track at a steady beat.

  2. 2

    Repeat with purpose

    Assisted and choral reading let students hear and reread passages until the phrasing feels natural.

  3. 3

    Check comprehension

    Each track includes comprehension checks so students show what they understood, not only what they read.

  4. 4

    See progress

    Educators watch fluency and comprehension grow over time and step in where help is needed.

Founder and research

Built by a teacher who saw the gap

Lyrics2Learn was created by Jeremy Spartz, a former classroom teacher. He built the music-based reading program to give students fluency practice they would actually want to repeat, and to give educators a clear view of progress.

The approach pairs educational text, music, rhythm and rhyme with repeated, assisted and choral reading. Students use leveled tracks independently or under teacher direction, while educators see fluency and comprehension progress.

A 2018 published evaluation by Germeroth, Kelleman and Spartz reported 66% higher year-over-year gains than a control group.
