This set of songs includes 3 old favorites for developing word recognition, fluency, and comprehension. As students read about the same animals in multiple contexts they develop fluency and they become confident in their ability to write their own verses to the songs. This version of Old MacDonald Had A Farm brings a fresh treatment to the song by giving it a Calypso beat. A Hunting We Will Go is the perfect song for introducing and reinforcing rhyming pairs. (We'll catch a cat and put him in a hat and they we'll let him go.). A critical test of learning is transference, can you take a skill used in one context and transfer it to a new context. For some students this is a very difficult step. This version of Barnyard Song lets students take the rhymes they used in A Hunting We Will Go and transfer them to Barnyard Song.
