🟡.🟤.The title of this episode was inspired by Heidi Rojas' lullaby: The Feelings Song. On the podcast, I sing along with her on the episode (on a recording!) and she kindly gave me permission to share it! It is a beautiful, comforting melody. 🟡Children’s literature provides a wonderful way into feelings, to stimulate discussion and to include more nuance and complexity as children grow.

NOTE: Season 4 is geared to ages 3 to 4 years. I recommend previewing episodes before sharing them with your child to make sure it is appropriate for your little one. Thank you! I feel lucky to be able to spend a few months in London each year with my daughter's family with 2 grandchildren, ages 1 and 3 years. This helps to keep me on my early literacy toes and I get to use and test the podcast! I spend the rest of the year between the east coast of the US and rural Jamaica. ++Season 4 is made up of episodes recorded from and flavoured with each of these 3 places. This episode has a little British flavour. Cheers!

Guests: /Cc/Kk/ and Nn *Show the letter. Say a sound. IMPORTANT TO LISTENERS: Throughout the podcast, take a moment every so often, to put some emphasis on the sounds in a fun and playful way - "Coconut - I hear two C/K -coco..."   Reminders: Try NOT to add the sound "uh" at the end of certain letters sounds. It's not Buh or Tuh or Cuh. Try to isolate the letter itself. Prioritize the sounds over the letter names. So when your child is wanting to identify the letters by name, gently say the sound as well. Hello k/c  Here's a cup  Lotsa cars beep beep beep  10 Little Candles 🎂 Eating cooked carrots c It was under the coconut tree Hello n N as in "No,no'  Noisy night Finger on your nose! Annady Mannady* See you later Alligator! PHONICS: The understanding that there is a predictable relationship between phonemes (the sounds of the spoken language) and graphemes (the letters and spellings that represent those sounds in written language)  SOURCE - -Bonnie Armbruster. Put Reading First: The Research Building Blocks for Teaching Children to Read, National Institute of Literacy. PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS: Is the ability to hear and play with the smaller sounds in words. LETTER KNOWLEDGE: Knowing that each letter has different sounds and names.
