Teaching Tips from Jack Hartmann:
     Everyone can sing along and follow the children on Version 1 of this song. Develop their awareness of how different beginning sounds change the words. Practice letter sounds to develop awareness of the sounds different letters make.
     For Version 2 of this song, follow children with the first two sounds fee fi and dee di. Then have children put in their own letters and sounds and figure out how the song is changing (i.e. ree ri, wee wi, bee bi).
     Have fun playing with sounds!
