All Together

Jack Hartmann

This song is also available on Jack Hartmann's album Shake, Rattle n' Read.

Focus: Manipulation and Substitution of Initial Letter Sounds. Playing with sounds (phonemic awareness).

Activity – Everyone can sing along and follow the children on version 1. Develop their awareness of how different beginning sounds change the works. Practice letter sounds with Learning Letter Sounds to develop awareness of the sounds different letters make.

All together we sing a song
All together as friends
