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.
