Working with preschool students when so many of my students are just grasping the idea of music and rhythm can be challenging. To assist my students with disabilities and those without I provide the projector and learning videos based on the goal or theme for the day. For my students who may have language disabilities or delays, Chaining is encouraged as the words of a song or rhyme is placed on the wall from the projector. I encourage my students to follow along with the words as they are highlighted by saying each word or the last word of each phrase. As the students are focusing on the words of the song or rhyme I say the last word of the first line and add more words as the song progresses each day. I also do hand motions to represent particular words and I encourage them to mimic me. This is especially beneficial for students with a hearing disability as they watch the words on the wall and focus on my hand motions this will help them to learn the words of the song along with the sign for each word. |
