Web Sites of the Week
NIEHS KIDS' PAGEShttp://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/musicchild.htmSponsored by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, this site provides a library of children’s music and lyrics online. Music enhances learning -- and reading lyrics while singing along to a favorite tune is a great way to practice and improve reading skills. When you get to the site just click on the title of the song you want to hear, and a new screen pops up with the lyrics printed out. Wait a few seconds and you will hear the instrumental music begin to play. Then you can sing along while reading the lyrics. (Or print them out to use offline.)
