Description

A CD of songs to help young children learn speech and language skills. Why? Songs encourage children to participate by speaking up and speaking out, songs help children remember vocabulary and concepts, and songs help children practice their speech!

“If you are a speech therapist, teacher, or parent of kiddos in the birth to preschool age range, this CD is for you!”
— Rose, SLP

CD Details

Each song on Do You Like Pie? has two different types of children in mind: those who speak very well and those who don’t. All children will love the rhythms and the rhymes. Children who speak very well will learn all the words over time. Children who are challenged in speech and language will have fun singing the parts specially designed for them – the parts with repeating phonemes, syllables, and words.

This CD has songs that can be used in individual or group speech-language practice. Use them at home, in the car, in the classroom, in school assemblies, in music classes, in English classes, or in speech, occupational or physical therapy. Sing along with the CD, then sing the songs, or the choruses, later without the music.

The words for each song of Do You Like Pie? are presented below. The lyrics and practice notes are available in Word Doc or PDF form. These lyric sheets also have suggestions about the speech-language skills to be practiced and recommendations for actions to be made. The character voices are also listed. We hope you enjoy using these songs in your work with children!

“I have been using this CD for years now to help children imitate sounds and words. The music is child oriented and lots of fun. Most children enjoy music, so this CD can motivate children to participate in imitation. I have “time tested” this CD and highly recommend it.”

How To Use This CD With Kids

WHY USE SONGS?

When learning songs, preschool children usually pick up on the repeating parts first. For example, when learning The Wheels on the Bus, young children usually sing the “round and round” part first. This natural ability can be used to help children with their speech-language skills. The songs on Do You Like Pie? each have repeating parts that encourage basic speech-language skills.

WHERE TO USE SONGS

These songs can be played at home, at school, in therapy or in the car. Anywhere!

HOW TO USE SONGS

At first, play the songs for the kids during times when they are not expected to sing. Just let them listen while they are doing another quiet activity like drawing. Talk about the characters that sing the songs, and talk about the sounds or words they are saying. Over time, encourage the children to sing the repeating parts suggested in the chart below.

Don’t expect any of the kids to learn all the words. The rest of the words in each song are there just to get the kids interested in the repeating parts. The songs are not instructions about how to say this or that phoneme or word – that’s your job. The songs are intended to give young children a fun opportunity to listen to and practice certain speech-language skills.

EACH SONG HAS A PURPOSE

The songs have two specific intents – to help young children learn to listen for and to practice certain sounds or words. See the chart below. More information about each song, including gestures to use, is available at in the downloadable PDF or Word Doc found above.
