Early Literacy Tip of the Week: Pick stories that can be sung, too. If your baby wanders away, you can still sing along.
Good Morning
Hello, How are You?
Bend and Stretch
Bend and stretch
And reach for the stars.
There goes Jupiter,
Here comes Mars.
Bend and stretch
And reach for the sky.
Stand on your tippy toes
Oh, so high!
Open Shut Them
Book One
I Clap My Hands
--Babies in the Library by Jane Marino. Lanham, MD: The Scarecrow Press, 2003.
Humpty Dumpty Up
Humpty Dumpty up,
And Humpty Dumpty down.
Humpty Dumpty left,
Humpty Dumpty right,
Humpty Dumpty all around.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Poor Humpty Dumpty (smiling).
Two Little Blue Birds
--from Lapsit Services for the Very Young II by Linda L. Ernst. New York: Neal-Schuman Publishers, Inc, 2001.
Book Two
All the Little Babies
Sung to: “Short’nin’ Bread”
All the little babies love bouncing, bouncing
All the little babies just to love bounce!
All the little babies love bouncing, bouncing
All the little babies just to love bounce!
Lean to the left, lean to the right
Hug that baby nice and tight!
--Katie at Sharing Soda
Little Cheek
Little cheek, little chin,
This is where the food comes in.
Little eyes, little nose,
Now I’ll kiss your little toes.
