Great Christmas Gift

A great gift for the children in your life for sure! However, all ages can enjoy these CDs, they aren't just for preschool children.

Knowing Nursery Rhymes Creates Better Readers

"Reading and memorizing nursery rhymes will increase the ability of your child to read early." Ron Guymon, Ph.D.

" I can't stress enough how important it is to teach your children nursery rhymes. It is the rhythm that really helps them learn to read. After a whole year of working with my students, 15 out of 60 of my kindergarten kids still could not read by the end of the year. I attribute this to the fact that most of my students did not know a single fairy tale or nursery rhyme. I am so impressed with SammyTells' nursery rhyme CD because Sam recites them and then sings them to different genres of music. His dramatic readings of the fairy tales are really good at showing the use of rhythm as well. What a fun and interesting way to teach your children such a valuable tool for reading. I purchased 3 sets of Sam's CDs; one for each of my grandchildren and one to use in my kindergarten classroom. I am telling all the kindergarten teachers I know about SammyTells." Mrs. Clea Comte, Kindergarten Teacher
