[MOSAIC] reading songs

[Debbie Goodis]

Yes, we used to do this in pre-K. When children knew a song we would change a word or two or a phrase and let the children notice. Of course, they would "scold" us for singing it wrong. In my class I have given tickets to students who find my mistakes when I'm writing something on the board. What if teachers pulled this same trick with reading words to songs or poems. For example, we would all be reading chorally when the teacher would make sure the students heard her read something wrong. It would keep the kids on their toes and really engaged because they love to hear the teacher make mistakes and then to correct her. This would only work for younger students, of course. Maybe a different version for older kids?  Someone who works with them might be able to think of something similar.
