Here is an excellent review of literature by Kristine McCarty, addressing how the arts integration in core curricula can impact improved reading skills in elementary students. It cites studies suggesting that using art integration strategies can help with academic achievement other areas of education as well. I see this as an affirmation that we incorporate as much visual learning in our professional practices, and supports the work I want to do. McCarty, Kristine. "The Effects of Visual Art Integration On Reading at the Elementary Level." http://www.eric.ed.gov/. Azusa Pacific University. 22 Oct 2008 .
