I came up with songs to teach 70 high frequency words by
using music along with movement. I also showed them the
word, so it was visual, musical, and kinesthetic. If anyone
is interested in hearing a sound byte, you can check out my
website, which is [link removed].

I currently teach K but I tried out these songs with some
remedial second graders this summer in summer school. I
pretested and post tested them on 17 of the words. At the
beginning of the summer, most children missed nearly all of
the words. At the end, they all gained by at least a
minimum of 30%. Most gained much more. We sang the songs
for about 20-30 minutes, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The
children never sat down and never picked up a pencil. It
really worked! HeidiB. [email removed]
