Sing a song of musical smarts and language games that build the brain. These 150 activities stimulate listening, vocabulary, and musical skills in toddlers and 2-year-olds, and teach rhythm, patterns, spatio-temporal reasoning, and mathematical concepts, too. Every game feels effortless and fun, no matter whether you’re naming ordinary items in the house or discovering new words when you’re out and about. “What are these for?” uses an action rhyme to show what different body parts hands clap, toes tap, eyes BOO!—and noses ACHOO. Help a toddler recognize ordinary sounds and understand daily routines, enjoy parent-child bonding over simple tunes and finger games, make music with everyday objects, and more.

Focusing on the critical importance of early reading instruction, the author highlights the gap between current teaching methods and the most effective strategies identified by recent experimental research. By exploring controversial educational issues, the book aims to inform parents and educators about the best practices for teaching reading, ensuring that children acquire this essential skill effectively.
