Music Enrichment Sample

If you have enjoyed the music enrichment sections of our grade-by-grade Enrichment Guides, you will love our new supplement devoted exclusively to music. For each piece of music scheduled weekly in our Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade Curriculum Manuals, Music Enrichment gives a short backstory on each piece and biographical information for its composer, as well as a few questions for discussion about the music being studied. Teach your child more about what the song is about, interesting facts about the instruments used in the song and how they work together, interesting aspects about the song's structure, and why the composer wrote it.

Purchase of this book also includes links to Spotify and Youtube playlists where you can listen to the selections we have chosen, as well as iTunes links if you would like to purchase them.

Sample

Classical Phonics is a deceptively simple little book our teachers and families use constantly in both kindergarten and first grade. It consists of phonetically arranged word lists for students to practice their growing phonics skills. In a word list there are no context clues, so the learner must rely on his mastery of letter sounds. For instance, if your child can pronounce each word in this list correctly—pot, pat, pit, put, pet—he knows his short vowel sounds, and you can move on to long vowels! If not, he needs more practice, and Classical Phonics is the most effective tool we know of to address the repetition that young ones need when learning to read. Classical Phonics can be used as a supplement to any phonics program, and covers nearly all English phonograms and sounds taught through second grade. Classical Phonics is your handy tool for phonics practice and for building confident readers.
