Rhythm, Rhyme, Repeat
This workshop explores how songs, rhymes and poetry can foster a love of language and reading. We will show you how songs and singing are powerful tools to support language and vocabulary development.
Drawing on our huge bank of songs, nursery rhymes and poems, this workshop will show you how a daily singing session can support communication, language and vocabulary development and spark a love of reading.
