I cannot begin to speak for Time, but we used enlarged shared lyrics--charted in first grade and projected using the overhead in second. Since we did some situated vocabulary/word study with pointers, it seemed to draw attention to the text. Also, we called in shared reading and I honestly TOLD them that shared reading meant we were doing this important work together. I flat out told them that while we were READING and enjoying these songs together, they would be building their reading skills. I modeled it and consistently restated my expectations. Much of the real connection to the words would come when the children read from their folders, the charts or the overheads on their own.
