5.0 out of 5 stars One little gem!, May 30, 2003

I've used Hap Palmer's music in my pre-k and kindergarten classes for many years. This year I moved to first grade, and having such a huge selection of Hap's music, (nearly all of it on LP's!) that I hadn't thought to add to my collection until I happened to get a copy "One Little Sound, Fun with Phonics and Numbers" at the beginning of this school year. While "One Little Sound" is still great fun and learning for pre/k, and kindergarten, it's also a wonderful resource for those all important first grade skills too. Having a hard time getting those vowels memorized and tired of singing about Old MacDonald's vowels? Try "Ayee I Owe You" and get them down in nothing flat. Learning about syllables? Sing along with "Chickadee And Chipmunk" and learn all about word chunks! (And slide right into a REAL kid pleaser--"Skidamarinkadinkadink" at the end of the song!). Beginning word families? Bop, hop, pop, mop, chop, and flop along with "Bop 'Til We Drop". And learn even more word families with "Bounce", "One Little Sound" and D-O-G, Walkin' The Dog". How about skip counting? "Follow Along" will introduce counting patterns for you. And not only are these songs educational, they are FUN, FUN, FUN! There is so much to this CD, and I've only scratched the surface, so to speak. One more thing--don't forget to read the booklet that comes with it--there's a goldmine of information about how to extend the learning with every song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes learning about phonics and numbers both easy and fun, May 17, 2002

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: One Little Sound - Fun With Phonics And Numbers (Audio CD)

Children's music education specialist Hap Palmer's One Little Sound: Fun With Phonics And Numbers features twelve original songs that make learning about phonics and numbers both easy and fun. Each song in One Little Sound focuses on the relationship between letter symbols (the alphabet) and building-block sounds of the English language (phonemes). The educational content of each song is as impressive as it is entertaining and the children will quickly master the concepts as they become involved in the music by singing, dancing, playing, and chanting along with the humorous rhymes. Very strongly recommended for family, school, and community library collections, the individual songs in this wonderful compilation included Chickadee And Chipmunk; Bo 'Til We Drop; Marching Around The Alphabet; Ayee I Owe You; Mary And Marvin; Bounce!; Follow Along; D-O-G, Walkin' The Dog; Celebrate The Day; How Many Are Here?; The Secret Word; and the title piece, One Little Sound...

Hap's most recent work shows why his music is so widely used by educators. "One Little Sound: Fun with Phonics and Numbers" uses cutting-edge educational methods in a most enjoyable way. Hap's music has evolved with the times, integrating rap and cool beats with his trademark calls for movement. Superb for building reading and math skills. Who says learning can't be fun?
