A collection of 16 easy to learn songs composed especially for classroom teachers, music teachers and music therapists to help children develop educational skills and concepts at the primary level. The songs have memorable melodies and lyrics that motivate children to develop cognitive skills in language, reading, classification, mathematics, science, and reasoning skills. At the same time, the beauty and structure of the songs help the children to explore their feelings and to develop interactional skills. This book will be useful in working with primary school children of all ability levels, including those with special needs. As a reprinting of their highly acclaimed original work of the same title, these songs have already been tested and proven to be effective. (1997; ISBN 1-891278-01-0; Paperback, 80 pages: $16).
