Literacy is critical to student success in school. Recent studies have found a direct correlation between student literacy in 3rd grade and likelihood of graduation in 12th grade. That's why I'm targeting my Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders for this project. We will have fun singing and playing Boomwhackers while strengthening literacy skills crucial to success in 3rd grade. Some of the songs are meant to help students memorize sight words, sometimes called Popcorn words because they "pop" up all over the place. Other songs will teach the fundamentals of phonics like word families and consonant blends. All of the songs will connect directly to the concepts they are learning in their English Language Arts classes.
