Early Literacy Tip of the Week:
Give your child access to books. Choosing what she would like to look at and learning to turn the pages is part of early literacy.
Good Morning
Hello, How are You?

Book One
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream!
--Traditional
If You're Happy and You Know It
If you're happy and you know it,
Shake it slow.
If you're happy and you know it,
Shake it slow.
If you're happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it,
Shake it slow.
*raise it high, shake it fast.
--Kendra at Read, Sing, Play
Down at the Library was a Parachute
Down at the library in the story room
Sat babies and Miss Mollie and a parachute
Lift, said Miss Mollie, lift the 'chute
And they lifted and they lifted that parachute.
*Shake, said Miss Mollie, shake the 'chute
And they shook and they shook that parachute.
*Let go, said Miss Mollie, let go of the 'chute!
And they all let go of the parachute.
--Miss Mollie
I Wiggle My Fingers
Book Two
Pease Porridge Hot
Pease porridge hot,
Pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in a pot, nine days old.
Some like it hot,
Some like it cold,
Some like it in a pot, nine days old.
Clap each syllable.
--Traditional
Clap Hands, Clap Hands
Use sign language for daddy and mommy.
--from Babies in the Library by Jane Marino. Lanham, MD: The Scarecrow Press, 2003.
