The Shortcut Song (Donald Crews)
This is a song based on Donald Crews' Shortcut. It follows the sequence of the story line and builds suspense similar to the story. Other teachers have used this for multiple purposes in the reading and writing workshops such as for an extension lesson, to compare and contrast, to analyze how an author (or songwriter) builds suspense, for teaching sequence, for character analysis, and more. I have a list of instructional possibilities I will gladly send you for free at your request.

Favorite Characters Song
This song celebrates reading and features the names of some popular book characters. More than that, it is a great resource to use for fluency practice. Or, if you're working on syllables, each line of each verse follows a pattern of one, two, three, then four syllables (Bone, Babar, Abuela, Bunnicula). You might also use the song for classroom transitions. I have been incorporating music into literacy lessons for years. In fact, I will write a song made to order about anything you are rea

General Knowledge Song 3
This song is from a (growing) series of songs that teach trivial knowledge.
You will like to listen to them, because they are good songs (hopefully you´ll agree) and as a nice side effect internalize the facts taught in the song.
Your students will love this new way of learning, especially because they can listen to the songs while they are out and about.

Thank You, Thank You
Teaching children to be grateful for the world around them requires them to notice it, so this song can be used for developing observational skills.

What Is A Hero?
We often think that only super-heroes can be heroes, but being a hero takes lots of different forms. Some heroes are big and flashy and make it into the TV news, but sometimes being a hero is as simple as smiling kindly at someone on the street who might be looking sad. Use this as a discussion starter for what are the different characteristics of real-life heroes, and what are ways that children can be heroes.

I observed a lesson in which young children were shown, using illustrations, various feelings,to help them write a story. The 'feelings' pictures and words, such as 'happy' and 'sad,' were also used to help with writing about characters feelings. I immediately began to write a song about it, to help the children. It became one of their favorites, as it was both instructional and fun to sing. The song also helped with the children's self-esteem, as they learned that it was absolutely normal to ha

Daedalus' Confession
Teachers can use Daedalus' Confession by Mytholo-G. to enhance student understanding of Greek Mythology, and to give students an example of how an ancient myth is easily connected to modern themes and ideas. These are not the typical educational raps that often sacrifice quality to pedagogy. Teachers can also use the raps to talk about point of view, since myths are almost always told in the 3rd person but the raps are often told from the 1st person point of view.
