Today's Preview of the Sing With Our Kids website: What is it about songs?
Songs are amazing things! They are a direct line to our emotions, and when we sing a song together, we are joined in a moment in time. Songs contain words we don't use every day, making them perfect and irresistible vehicles for building vocabulary, one of the six skills needed to become successful readers. Think of a children's song you know... like Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.... If you sing just the first verse with a baby, you are using 5 words that might not otherwise be part of your daily language; twinkle, wonder, world, above, diamond, And if you sing the full traditional version, you are adding at least nine words to your child's vocabulary (you can download the full version at my website by clicking the link here: http://nancymusic.com/SOM/2011/twinkle-little-star.htm ). The words are beautiful and able to enchant the tiniest baby. SingWithOurKids.com will not only have an extensive collection of these traditional songs, but you'll be able to download the mp3s,
and lyrics with guitar chords- so you can sing them together.
