Dancing improves reading? More on a possible relationship between rhythmic skills and academic performance

Hat tip to Myomancy blog for picking up on the story that summarizes a study that demonstrated that the performance on the Disney Dance Dance Revolution computer game improved reading in 6xth grade students with ADHD. 

As pointed out in the Myomancy blog, these findings relate to prior posts at IQs Corner regarding the intriguing positive results of synchronized metronome tapping interventions (e.g., Interactive Metronome) on ADHD and academic performance.
