SING-A-LONG BOOK

All the SING-A-LONG resources have been Created & Designed by Alan Davies with help from Janine Plunkett, Mike Meade, Terry Allen and Hilary Davies.

Use this colourful 96-page book with your children to learn about the 44 sounds (phonemes) and 120 main spelling choices (keygraphemes) of English.

This book should be used with the SING-A-LONG CD (sold separately), which is a double CD with over 2 hours of music, that is, 45 vocal tracks and 45 instrumental tracks - 90 tracks! Sing-a-long with the tracks, again and again, until your children are so familiar with the songs that they are able to point underneath the words in this book and read them. 

Encourage your children to point underneath the main spelling choices for each of the sounds. Then ask them to search for the same spelling choices, and even new spelling choices for the same sound, on the other pages. Encourage them to ‘point underneath and name' the letter or letters in the spelling choice (to practise spelling) before saying the sound that is represented (reading). 

Parents, grandparents, pre-school staff and teachers (and speech and language therapists) can use these resources to develop essential speaking, listening, reading and spelling skills in children. Older children can also use the resources to have fun with and teach their younger brothers and sisters.
