Product Information

This book is great for teaching children music, rhyme and rhythm. It makes rhyming fun for all ages and encourages children to read aloud. The book also teaches children how to read at different paces and the rhythm of syllables. Clapping the syllables is a great activity that can be used in KS1 as a literacy starter or plenary. Challenge kids to clap hands, snap fingers, or stomp feet for each syllable in names or other words sung/chanted. Rhyme is a major feature of Dr Seuss’s work. Play rhyming games by taking turns to think of a word that rhymes with an object in the room, or giving clues such as, “What’s a word that rhymes with red? It’s where you go to sleep at night”. Read other rhyming stories and poems, and compare. When asked for ideas on how to solve a problem in real life or in imaginary situations, such as in a story, they can often express their ideas more easily through movement and physical expression.

How could you record your ideas so that you don’t forget them? In writing, in pictures, as audio recordings, with labelled diagrams or a mixture of everything? Is it difficult to think of ideas while you’re sitting still? Where and how might you have better ideas? Each child has a partner, and they take turns. To happy music, the first one moves, and the other child tries to copy that movement. Children often are unaware of feeling upset. If they express themselves through song and movement, they can get control of their emotions and learn new coping skills to be drawn upon in the future.
