| Resource: | Early Literacy Rhymes and Songs | ||
| Provider: | King County Library System: Tell Me A Story | ||
| Summary: | Age Range: 2-8 (approximately, with parental supervision) A Maryland ClickScholar suggested this website, sponsored by The King County Library System of Washington state, that provides hundreds of rhymes and songs to promote early literacy. You'll find the printable lyrics/words, and in many cases you can watch librarians and educators perform the fingerplays or sing the songs on video. |
||
| Description: | When you get to the site you'll see two menus. One is an alphabetical list of ALL the titles that are included in this archive. (Click on the "next 200" link located on the bottom left side of the page to see them all.) You'll also find a "Themes" menu that includes: Animals Clothing Body Parts Counting Bugs and Insects Food Seasons Weather Colors Holidays Shapes And More! Just click on a theme and a new page opens with an alphabetized menu of titles. For example, if you click on "Animals" you'll find familiar rhymes such as, Farmer in the Dell, BINGO, Five Little Pumpkins, Hickory Dickory, Dock, I Wish I Were A Fishy In The Sea, Kookaburra Song, Old MacDonald, Pop Goes The Weasel, Willoughby, Wallaby, Woo, and hundreds more! Click on any title and a new page opens with the lyrics of the rhyme, and in many instances you can watch a video presentation as well. You can watch the videos with your child, or use them to refresh your memory of the words, tune, or hand gestures and motions so that you can introduce them to your child offline. Bookmark this site, it's a great resource whenever you need a fun rhyme or song to enhance learning, or just to brighten the day. Note: I did not review any other portion of the Kings County Library System website. Therefore, parents, as always, should preview the website and supervise Internet use. Enjoy! |
