I am a kindergarten/first grade looping teacher. We use music all throughout our day to help kids learn concepts and sight word recognition. We keep our songs in a notebook with all the poems we love. Students are allowed to read them in reader's workshop. Although it may seem at times they just do it from memory, they learn a lot more than I think we give them credit for. When you have a child come up and say "I know that word because it is in __ poem or song" you realize that connections are being made. One of my favorite things it to watch my kids partner read out of that notebook with a wealth of intonation. Let them sing! Debbie H.
