Synopsis

Album Description
This recording adds fun and variety to early childhood reading and math programs with original compositions and unique adaptations of traditional favorites. Children play with language in ways that nurture phonological awareness. They gain familiarity with the sounds of language and connect these sounds to letter symbols. Recent research shows that children who have a greater degree of phonological awareness are better equipped to learn to read. Included in this CD are songs that encourage children to: o Enjoy the sound and rhythm of language
(examples: wiggy-wiggy-wiggles, silly-willy-nillies) o Perceive the difference between similar sounding words
(examples: tuba-Cuba, trumpet-crumpet, cello-jello) o Substitute one sound for another
(examples: apples-eeples-opples, hickory-dickory-rickory-snickory) o Notice words that rhyme and identify word families that have frequent spelling patterns.
(examples: pig-wig-jig, cat-rat-bat, dip-sip-tip, clap-tap-snap) o Remove and add initial and ending consonant sounds
(examples: ornbrea-cornbread, opcor-popcorn) o Recognize letter sound correspondence
(example: 's' says 'sss' in singer and song) As children develop vocabulary and language, they also play with numbers in ways that enhance skills in mathematics. Songs are included that motivate young learners to count, discover number patterns, add, subtract, understand place value, and identify units of money The accompanying teaching guide suggests ways to involve children actively with each song.

"I ordered this Two Little Sounds CD for our 5 year old at the same time I bought Hap Palmer's Early Childhood Classics for our 2 year old. Each one is perfect for their ages. Our 5 year old loves this CD and has enjoyed learning all the fun, fast paced and catchy songs. The lyrics have an educational component and stimulate thinking by introducing new vocabulary words, simple math problems and reading. After listening to a song, our 5 year old will catch another word, phrase or thought that she doesn't understand and will ask questions about it. She has had a really good time listening to the rhyming words/phrases and finds many of them hilarious. My husband and I enjoy the songs as much as she does and appreciate that the CD represents different genres of music which makes it even more entertaining for us. Our 5 year old's favorite song is "The English Language Gets a Little Kooky." Even our 2 year old has a favorite on the CD and can repeat a few phrases from "Ten Monkeys in a Tree." My husband and I like "Down By the Bay." We like all the songs on this CD and our 5 year old has learned many new words and concepts while listening to the lyrics."
These catchy tunes are fun for the whole family

"We bought this cd to get the "Wiggy Wiggle Freeze Dance" (which is great) and have grown to love many of the other songs. Ten Little Monkeys and Apples and Bananas are great. Good for riding in the car, dancing around or even before bedtime. The music only versions are a neat addition to see if your little one really knows the words!"
