Here's a fun musical way for children to learn about reading, writing, and
mathematics. Phonics and numbers are presented in a meaningful context of
colorful rhymes and stories. Through hand and finger motions, full body
movement, and opportunities for verbal expression, children are fully engaged in
the learning process.
This multi award winning CD earned the Parents' Choice Gold Award, the Oppenheim
Toy Portfolio Gold Award, and the Discovery School.com Award of Excellence.
The songs focus on the relationship between letter symbols (the alphabet) and
sounds of the English language (phonemes).
The songs also encourage children to search for relationships, order and
predictability as they work with numbers.
When the lyrics pose questions or problems, answers often come from children on
the recording. There is always a musical interlude or a short pause before the
answer is given. This gives the child listening a chance to answer first, then
check the answer immediately following.
The 12 songs are presented first with vocal versions and then with instrumental
renditions. Once children have learned a song, they can sing along without
hearing the words or create their own lyrics and activities. The instrumentals
have a soft piano melody line to act as a guide without overpowering the
children's voices.
Included with each CD is a teaching guide that describes ways to actively
involve children with each song. (Feel free to vary and adapt the ideas
suggested in this guide, and to create new ways of using the songs to fit your
school or home situation.) The ultimate goal is always the same: to foster
enthusiasm and enjoyment of learning through music and movement.
