Talking Toddlers: Singing together
Children love singing and it helps them to learn words and link words with actions.
Singing is an easy way to help your child learn lots of new words.
Repetitive songs give your child more than one chance to hear and learn the words.
Your child will become familiar with the words in the song.
Singing will help develop their listening and attention skills.
You can make up songs about your everyday routine, for example, brushing teeth or shoes on songs.
Don’t worry what you sound like when you sing, your child will love having fun with you.
Singing will help your child learn about sounds and rhythm which are important for language development and later learning to read.
In our groups we use singing a lot to help children get used to the routine and join in and have fun together. Have a go – sing nursery rhymes, your favourite songs or make up your own songs!
