At Vox Singing Academy Australasia, we have always believed that singing lessons are more than just learning how to hit the right notes. Singing is a powerful tool for self-expression, confidence, and even learning. But here is something you might not have thought about. Singing with subtitles, yes, those lyrics you see on screen, can actually help kids learn to read.
It might sound surprising, so let’s talk about how it works. When kids sing along while reading the lyrics, they begin to connect written words with sounds, rhythm, and meaning in a fun and engaging way. It turns reading into a game rather than a task, making it easier for them to absorb language patterns naturally. Here are a few ways singing with subtitles can boost your child’s reading skills:
The Connection Between What They Hear and What They Read
When kids sing along to songs while reading subtitles, they naturally connect spoken sounds with written words. This builds what teachers call phonemic awareness, which is the understanding that words are composed of individual sounds.
Think about it. Your child hears “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” while seeing the words on screen. Each line reinforces the connection between sound and text. Over time, this helps improve reading fluency and comprehension. And the best part is that it does not feel like a lesson at all.
Reading Practice in Disguise
One of the hardest parts of encouraging kids to read is keeping them interested. Books are wonderful, of course, but not every child will sit still with a novel for long stretches. Singing lessons or karaoke sessions with subtitles sneak in reading practice without the resistance.
When your child is singing along, they are essentially reading aloud. Only this time, it is wrapped in rhythm and melody. The repetition helps lock in sight words, expand vocabulary, and boost confidence in reading.
Music Helps Kids Learn Faster
There is a reason why we remember song lyrics so easily. Music works with memory in a very powerful way. Rhythm, rhyme, and melody make information stick much faster than plain speech.
That is why singing lessons are such a fantastic tool for learning. Not only do they develop vocal skills and confidence, but they also sharpen memory and focus. These skills transfer beautifully into the classroom, helping kids stay engaged and retain new information more effectively. In fact, students who learn through music often show greater creativity and improved problem-solving abilities.

How Can We Do It at Home?
You do not need a stage or special equipment to start helping your child learn through singing. Here are some simple ways you can try it at home:
Karaoke at home – Play YouTube karaoke tracks with lyrics on screen and sing together.
Use subtitles – Turn on subtitles while watching music videos or children’s shows.
Family sing-alongs – Make it a routine to sing a favourite song after dinner, with everyone following the lyrics.
Take singing lessons – Professional singing lessons at Vox Singing Academy can be done online or at your nearest studio, as we have multiple branches available to cater to you. Our lessons help kids not only improve their voice but also build confidence and discipline that support reading and learning.
