This review is from: Teaching Tunes Audio CD and Mini-Books Set: Favorite Songs: 12 Best-Loved Children's Songs With Sing-Along Mini-Books That Build Early Literacy Skills (Paperback)

I love this book (I bought the whole series). My class enjoys listening to and singing along with the CD. I make a class sized book by enlarging the pictures and putting the book together in a binder. We practice every day with the CD. Then on Friday, I give each child their own child-sized book and we practice with the CD. Then I send the book home with the children. I've gotten so much positive feedback--parents love it!
The children also tell me how much they enjoy the books, and we have review days where they can choose their favorites.

My Preschoolers enjoy singing along with the CD and "reading" the poem as they sing. They take the poem home and sing it to their parents. I have also put a set of mini poem books in my reading center for the students to enyoy.

I enjoyed this purchase because it has an all-in-one easy to carry set. That is important when you are traveling between different campuses. The children enjoy the music and making the books that we can practice and they may take home. The dark line pages make copying easy. The songs are familiar and are sure to be ones that the parents can join in as they read together.
It does take time to create the books and prepare the materials.
