Finally, Spring is here. We have been singing a book by Ezra Jack Keats called "Over in the Meadow" with the younger groups. It is a good example of a book that you can sing instead of just reading. It also works well for counting, rhyming and lyric recall. We often move around like the characters in the book, too. There are a lot of different versions that are sung on Youtube, you can look up a few and listen to compare how they are the same/different than our version. I chose this one because it has the same lyrics (different pictures) that we sing here at Gillen Brewer. It is simply read but, perhaps you can view it with your child and ask them to sing it to you (turn down the volume and give it a try). Comments are closed.
