2nd such app from Kids Can Talk containing everything you need for a musical, fun, and effective speech learning sessions with your child or student. This app has songs, lyrics, goals for each song, video, suggestions and activities. And, for fun, challenge your child (or yourself) to a fun Word Game—the second option.
“Kids Songs Collection #2” is very, very child and teacher/parent friendly. Please think about it as a TOOL and not as a game. Games are fun and alluring, but this TOOL can improve your child’s speech more than any app – no matter how clever and flashy it is. So, lets take a look at both options....
The "Songs" option
This collection is unique because it contains speaking with music and rhythm. Why? Because some children find it easier to sing than to speak, and vice versa. Exposing children to both styles is key in achieving the maximum learning potential. Perfect for ages 2 – 6 and up.
We know now that children learn much faster and better through music, imitation, and interaction (interaction is key when working with young children). Many studies have concluded the magical power of music. So we wrote fun, enticing, and effective songs that help children with speech difficulties, speech development, learning English as a second language, and are effective for children with Autism, Apraxia, and Dyslexia. And… we give you more tools in this app: specific speech and language goals, lyrics to all songs so you can read them as you listen to a tune, also activities and suggestions on how to use these tunes with your child or student.
