Why This Jazzles Teacher's Resource Pack will help you achieve your goals for your ELA Emergent Literacy curriculum!

Lesley Beth "Hi, I'm Lesley Beth and I'm a teacher. I created Jazzles because I am passionate about teaching children to read.

Jazzles provides a fast enjoyable way to establish phonemic awareness and letter knowledge including the relationship between letters and sounds as represented in print.

The Jazzles approach is to provide an entertaining focus on sound-letter-sound relationships using multi sensory activities - involving visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile experiences.

You will find that the Jazzles songs with alliterative lyrics, humor and fun extension activities in this Teacher's Kit, provides children with ALL the audio AND visual cues necessary for initial sound-letter understanding.

With this basic understanding , children can usually confidently move forward in learning to read and write words.

As an experienced teacher, I know it is much better to help children learn through fun than rote! So I have included just a few quotes from the thousands of teachers using Jazzles resources who enjoy making early reading readiness a fun experience." ... Lesley Beth

Subject: Language Learning through Music

"You have an excellent product

The CD design; the ease of use by teachers, parents and children; the choice of vocabulary; the phrase structures, the phonemic awareness which is built in: the many opportunities to enlarge on the vocabulary through the additional optional activities.

I literally have my Jazzles CD with me every day. My students especially love the "cC" (Clever Kid) - song because there are many things which they can't do yet but it also talks about the things they can do."

I started teaching basic phonemic awareness to the autistic students in the elementary school. (Just sound-symbol relationships). I have a few other CD's which I had purchased, but I couldn't find anything that covered all 26 letters and sounds. SO I was searching the internet, found the Jazzles CD, listened to the sample songs and had to buy it. Thank you. Marcia "
