Singing and Learning.

We do so much learning in kindergarten! Our brains are like little sponges that soak it all up. We do a lot of learning through song for many reasons but the most important is that it is fun! Not only is it fun, but singing helps us learn so many important skills. It helps to improve vocabulary, fluency, phonics skills, phonemic awareness skills and retention. Some of us are musical and auditory learners, so signing is a great way to learn for us. We have started getting into the letters and the sounds and soon we started blending sounds to read words with the short sound of Aa. Here is a song we use to help us learn the letters and their sounds. It is by Dr. Jean. We love Dr Jean and have many of her CD to sing and move to in the classroom.
