Lullaby Book Reviews and Resources
The wonderful thing about a lullaby book is that you can teach three forms of communication at the same time: sign language, musical melody and words/speech. Here are a few ideas about how to use lullaby books when you have time with your child.
- Read the book all the way through and then sing it all the way through. - Talk about the pictures and use baby signs. - Humm the melody and sign the words. - Sign the words while singing. As your child gets older begin to leave gaps in your singing/reading and let them fill in the missing words and melodies. Doing this really got our son started singing. Rather than expecting him to sing a whole song, he could just add little bits and build his confidence. Here are some of our favorites. Enjoy!
