Do You Like Singing?

Mr A, Mr C and Mr D Presents... primary and secondary school curriculum music and songs to support teaching and learning for children in maths, literacy and science from ages 7-14. The songs are really nice and quite suitable for English lessons. Why not use them to introduce the topic, to revise the material, to make the grammar (language) lesson more interesting for the students. The songs are mostly for Intermediate-Advanced Learners. Among the Literacy category there are the songs: Alliterate This, Apostrophes,Hyperbole, Onomatopoeia, Persuasive Writing, Punctuation Nation, Sentence Starters/Openers, Similies, Synonyms/Vocabulary, the song about question words.

Which? What? How? When? Where? Why? Who?
