Music is a universal language and singing enriches thematic content,
supports literacy concepts, and optimizes memory and learning. Fabulous
Food offers ideas on how to use music and singing to extend classroom
activities to include modifications for special needs and English
language learner populations in order to maximize learning and fun. From
"Oats, Peas, Beans, and Barley Grow" to "A Peanut Sat on a Railroad
Track," children will sing and learn about a variety of foods while
having fun exploring nutrition and traditions. A CD containing 25 tracks
provides the basis for over 300 activities and games used to practice
basic literary skills such as listening, oral language development,
phonological awareness, rhyme, alliteration, comprehension, and more.
Every song has curriculum connections that integrate the content of the
song to curriculum areas such as math, art, science, field trips, and
discovery, a "Did You Know?" section with fun and interesting facts
related to the song, a vocabulary list, home activities, related
children's books and literacy links. Softcover, 128 pages/CD. Ages 4-8.
