Tester Score 92.5%
What the tester said: ”The children really enjoyed using the CD and I found the book very good as the CD wasn’t always needed. Lovely cheerful songs and I liked to hear child voices on the CD rather than adults. It helped develop good sitting and listening skills and worked well in small groups of children.”
A view from the nursery floor
This book of simple songs is aimed at developing understanding of story building and word use, and offers a creative way to help children with a preference for auditory learning. The book is marketed for children aged between three and seven years, but we felt that its emphasis on areas such as story beginnings, verb and adjective use and rhyming words would be suited to older Reception and Year 1 children in particular. This is a nice resource with a useful CD included that could help to make literacy lessons much more exciting.
