Today's Preview of the Sing With Our Kids website: Songs Are Portable Literacy!
We all know that reading to babies and young children daily is vital to building all kinds of skills, including language and early literacy. But reading is limited to times when you and your child can give it your full attention. For many families with busy lives, that may mean only at bedtime, or at the most two or three quiet times a day. That's where singing comes in! You can take songs anywhere, and sing them in the car, the bathtub, and of course, in the car! They are free, always with you, and interactive! What a deal! And singing builds many of the same skills reading to your child does! The SingWIthOurKids website will provide you with lots of ideas and fun ways to get you singing throughout the day, while providing you with the information on just how it's helping your child's development (not to mention building relationships). Songs are truly portable literacy!
