Here are a couple of songs I worked up for use in the classroom: The Alphabet Calypso Short Vowel Rap Many Many Cows
The Alphabet Calypso Purpose: to develop phonemic awareness and skills in segmenting and blending. A-a-a-apple, a-a-a-appleThat’s the sound of “A” A-a-a-apple, a-a-a-apple That’s the sound of “A” B-b-b-banana, b-b-b-banana That’s the sound of “B” B-b-b-banana, b-b-b-banana That’s the sound of “B” (Song continues using words in appropriate alphabetic order.) Note: Teacher may sing the first two lines, with the students joining in on the second two lines of that letter. As the children become familiar with the song, they may make their own suggestions of words. A single word or two words that both begin with the same letter or fit in the rhythmn of the song may be used. A list of possible words to be used in the song follows: Antelope, Antsy Ants Barnacle, Big Balloons Cantaloupe, Cans of Corn Dinosaur, Dirty Dogs Elephant, Empty Eggs Flying Fish, Forty Frogs Gorilla, Goofy Goats Hermit Crab, Happy Horse Icicle, Icky Ink Jellyfish, Jumping Jacks Kangaroo, Kicking Kings Lollipop, Lazy Lips Marmalade, Mountain Men Newspaper, Nightly News Octopus, Oily Oats Porcupine, Pushy Pigs Quietly, Quilting Queen Raspberry, Rude Raccoon Santa Claus, Sneaky Snakes Telephone, Tickly Toes Underwear, Uppity Up Violin, Violet Voles Whooping Crane Wily Wolves Xylophone, Extra X Yesterday, Yellow Yaks Zucchini, Zebra Zoo |
