-The wheels on the bus-

"The wheels on the bus go round and round, 

round and round, 

round and round,

The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town"

Have you heard this song before? If yes, this is the song which the tune is adapted for teaching sounds to Year 1 KSSR new education system in Unit 1.The lyric is provided in the textbook (only until monkey). I made up the rest of the song. You can use this song to teach sounds.

*p/s: don't forget the actions ;) Kids love to follow any kind of movement you teach them and they remember the sounds as they do the actions. It's great to see that my kids learn and memorize this song for only 3 days and managed to perform to other students during school assembly ;).
