Singing

English Language Arts

• The child has learned about rhythm and rhyme through singing songs.
• They have practiced reading and pronouncing words while following along with song lyrics.
• Through singing, the child has developed their listening and comprehension skills as they follow the melody and understand the meaning of the lyrics.
• The child has also expanded their vocabulary by learning new words and phrases from songs.

Continued development can be encouraged by introducing the child to different genres of music and exploring various singing styles. Encourage them to write their own lyrics or make up their own songs. This will enhance their creativity and improve their language skills.
