Sing Me A Story

Sing Me A Story is an important addition to any elementary literacy program. Developed by a music specialist and elementary teacher, the stories presented in this series are all sung or chanted rhythmically with a strong emphasis on vocal play (an important singing skill). Story concepts also include reading comprehension, language development, cause and effect, sequencing, prediction, and cognitive reasoning.

Over 100 singing stories are included in loose monthly themes. Indexes are provided for the purpose of increasing your own personal library. Stories will be available on the first day of each month. Extension ideas are provided for each story to integrate into other areas of education. Some stories will be familiar, others will be new and exciting! With this easy online format, you can enjoy the stories at your own time and pace. Though everyone can enjoy a good story, this class will be best appreciated by children 8 years and younger.

Supplemental music and educational activities will be provided for you and your students to do at home that will accompany the stories, poems, and rhymes. Supplemental activities will include art and craft ideas, writing prompts, introduction to art music which include the stories, history behind certain singing songs, and more.

Materials will be available from the first to the last day of each month.
