Sing-A-Book Samples

The Owl and the Pussycat

  • The illustrations by Natalie are meaningful, and "kid-friendly."
  • Interesting detail and friendly characters keep the reader's attention focused on the words and meanings. Affective learning happens because colouring the pictures makes the book more personal to the child.
  • Sheet music is included in all of the "Sing-a-Books". This aids the teacher, parent or young musician to add another dimension to the magical reading experience. Sheet music can also be used to integrate reading into the music class. Sheet music also provides the learner with the morphemes (smallest units of meaning) needed to decode words since each note contains only one unit of sound.
