This arts integrated lesson leads children, families and teachers through the joy of “singing a story” as Deborah and her daughters share a musical story time with you. The five stories recorded were created for PreK through 2nd grade and explore relationships between reading comprehension strategies and introductory elements of music with colorful and fun picture books. The lessons are meant to be interactive for the whole family – gather round and sing your story time!
