Abstract
![CDATA[In most Australian elementary schools, literacy is given high priority in relation to time and resources. However, this often results in the Creative Arts subjects being given a very low priority. This paper reports on a subject developed to train teachers to use the Creative Arts to teach literacy in the Elementary School. Through this approach, students and their pupils gain the opportunity to develop literacy skills using Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences and integrating Music, Dance, Drama and Visual Arts throughout their literacy programs. It also provides them with valid means of integrating the Creative Arts within other Key Learning Areas.]]
