The video footage was great!
"I liked learning new songs, learning new ways to present and meeting others in the field. The video footage was great.! Thank you so much. Amazingly well prepared. All pre-primary, primary teachers should know about this. The workshop has helped me become more comfortable with singing. I can honestly say that this was one of the most enjoyable workshops I have taken."

What is singing English?
A FUN, EASY, SYSTEM
TO TEACH CHILDREN TO READ & WRITE
-
The most developmentally appropriate early literacy program available!
-
A powerful way to reach struggling readers!
-
A fun and inclusive method of teaching ESL students!
- Easy to implement; enhances current programs; and no music experience necessary!
This cutting edge, inspirational workshop provides educators of children 3-10 years of age with powerful tools, techniques, and easy to implement lessons for using song-games to teach children of all abilities to speak, read and write. Song-games are the most beneficial tools an educator can use to introduce reading and writing skills. By exploring movement, singing and sound to symbol written activities, teachers can introduce literacy skills that are developmentally appropriate; with a focus on the whole child and the understanding that children develop at their own pace.
