Educates and Relates
Hip-Hop has a tremendous impact on today’s youth and is the #1 listened to genre of music in the world. Due to it’s impact, Derek Collins created the award-winning ‘Gifted and Lit’ series to educate and relate to students across the globe. Research shows that positive, engaging music, increases retention of information by 15-20%. By far, this is one of the best tools to use at home or in a classroom setting.
‘Gifted and Lit’ melds modern beats, lyrics, and positive information that influences children to develop a love for education. In addition, ‘Gifted and Lit’ uses age appropriate music to make learning fun while promoting science, reading, and mathematics.
This program is a valuable resource for family and parent engagement programs looking for a tool that connects to parents and children alike. If you want your students to be motivated,inspired, and engaged, ‘Gifted and Lit’ is the program for you.
