Since our lesson/discussion about Sabertooth, and the use of "raps" to help us assess what we read, I have noticed word wizardry all around.
My niece, who is 4, doesn't know her ABC's, but she can sing the lyrics to "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson. I've told my sister she needs to give every letter of the alphabet a beat or a tune that my niece can identify it with.
This concept has made me reevaluate the way I teach and how its effectiveness will impact my students in the long run.
