Incorporating Music and Literacy into One of Your Favorite BooksItisnotdifficulttoincorporatemusicandliteracyintomostearlychildhoodbooks.Onthenext page is a template you can use to help you organize your thoughts!

A few tips:

• Choose a book you really like that corresponds to whatever theme or unit you are working on with the children.

• Does the book have repetition in it?• Does the book have sounds in it?• Is this a book with rhyming passages in it?• Could you add instruments to each character, so that everytime that character is named,

achildplaysthecorrespondinginstrument?ex:Ifyouarereading“Cinderella”,youcouldperhapshaveachildplayatriangle4timesafterhernameisspoken(onceforeachsyllable).The evil stepmother could be a drum, or a gong, etc.

• Make sure all the children are actively involved! You could even have someone playing a bell tree or a glockenspiel every time a page is turned.

• Use a familiar melody, and add some simple words from the book to it. We often call these songs“PiggybackSongs”.Ifthereisrepetitioninthebook,usethatforsomeideas.

Somesample“PiggybackSongs”:TwinkleTwinkleLittleStar Row, Row, Row Your Boat Frere Jacques Shoo-Fly There’saHoleintheBottomoftheSea Old MacDonald Pop Goes the Weasel

Repeat the song you have made up 4 or 5 times throughout the reading of the story.

• If you could make a story strip of activity cards for this story, what pictures would you use? (Seetheintroductionpagesofthisbookforclarificationofastorystripandactivitycards.)

• List all the instruments or soundmakers you need for the story. (The Dollar Stores have uniqueandaffordableideasaswell!)

• What props, objects, clothing, etc., would enhance this story?• How can this book, now with song, sounds, and a literacy activity, cross over into other areas?(ex.anartproject,cooking,phys.ed,afieldtrip)• Could you create a classroom book related to this book for your story corner, with the children’spicturesinit?

Let your imagination and creativity be your guide!

Your organizational template is on the next page and included on the Disk 2. Have fun!
