What do you think this book will be about? Can you help count the [blank] on this page? What color is the [blank] on this page?What do you think will happen next?
Reading with a lot of emotion, or using different voices, or props, like a puppet,
can make books more engaging. Try to use a big book with large, colorful
illustrations, or a pop-up book!
We try to choose that encourage audience participation.
In between the parts of the story time (from the book to the song, from the song to the activity etc.) Example: Transition from reading Owl Babies by Martin Waddell to singing “Shakin’ Like a Leafy Tree” by the Wiggles --“We just read a story about some birds who live in a tree, so let’s sing a song about a tree.”
Instruction-song in which the singer gives obvious Example: “Jump Up, Turn Around” by Jim Gill
Prop- song in which it might be appropriate to hand the children something to manipulate during the song, like a streamer, or a flag, or a musical instrument, like a shakey egg. Example: “I Know a Chicken” by Laurie Berkner
Pretend- song that might not give instructions, but lends itself to “acting out” the words in a pretty simple way. Example: “The Goldfish” by Laurie Berkner
Skits or “Readers Theatre” can be quite dramatic like…
This can be as simple as mentioning a few informative facts when introducing the
day’s theme or it can be more involved.
