Language and Literacy Development through Songs, Movement and Stories
2021-07-10 10:30 - 11:30 (Asia/Singapore) | Online Zoom
About this Programme:
Do you remember singing nursery rhymes and simple songs from childhood? If the first part of a familiar melody and song text is given, most of us will finish singing the song. Often as we hum these melodies, we think of other songs we learned during our early school years, and we realize that we can still sing many of these from memory.

MUSIC! How can children learn or live without it? The similarities between literacy acquisition and musical development are indeed many. The successful acquisition of reading and writing skills in early childhood depends on a solid background in oral language development. What better way to gain knowledge and confidence in oral language than through music?

Fees: Fully subsidised for eligible participants with family PCI $1000 & below.

Eligibility: Open to all Indian Parents with children aged 3 to 6 years old, who are Singaporean Citizens or Permanent Residents with PCI $1000 & below.

The Zoom link for the session will be sent separately to your email after registration and processing the application.
