Here is a collection of 10 simple songs which will take children through from learning their first phonemes to writing their very own stories!
There are songs to help children remember to put a capital letter at the start of every sentence; songs to remind them to leave spaces between their words; songs to learn about opposites and rhymes; songs to tackle alliteration and some of the quirks of the English language; and songs to boost their belief in themselves and their ability to write! Sing... and make literacy lessons memorable and fun!
