Early Literacy Resources

Interested in a new resource for supporting early literacy? Consider I Can Read Songs. This set of instructional resources was developed through a non-profit organization, I CAN READ, Inc. The songs teach children to read and write 13 high-frequency sight words by embedding them in memorable music. Children sing along and dance along as they learn to read and write the words. Later activities connect the same words to reading little books and writing messages. The I Can Read Songs approach has been used to boost early literacy skills. The materials have been used to engage diverse young learners (3-6 years old) with attention issue s, language delays, or limited exposure to print, and to promote collaboration with families.

Song Scores, Big Words, Sing-Along Charts, Sing-Along Take Homes, First Books and Second Books are all available to download at http://www.icanreadsongs.org. A teacher set (CD, DVD, and charts) sells for $15.00 when part of an I CAN READ Songs Family Involvement Literacy Project.
