November is here and all our holiday programming is beginning. I hope to see many of my friends here over the next month.
I was listening to christmas carols on the radio (101.5) (no groaning) and thought what a great way to introduce new words to our children. I mean "Deck the Halls with boughs of holly". For a child, that's a pretty confusing song. Are they talking about the wood thing outside the back door? Are they going to bow with their friend Holly? And by the way, who are they? The next line isn't any better. What's a tis?
Statistically, the more words a child knows before they enter kindergarten, the better they will do when it is time for them to read. So singing songs with your child is a great way to intoduce new words to them. You and your child will have fun and you will be helping them to succeed.
