I am not sleeping! Lavelle Carlson

Sing a book to the children in English or Spanish. Have the children join you in singing to the tune of "Are You Sleeping?". I Am Not Sleeping was written by a retired speech/language pathologist for teaching early English and Spanish verbs to pre-kindergarten through middle school. Interactive reading and words set to music have been shown to be more effective in teaching languages. Today more than ever it is important for our children to learn another language while they are young. Ask questions, "What are you doing?", "What did you do?" and more. Added verbs for teaching English to Spanish or Spanish to English are included in the back of the book or can be downloaded at www.slpstorytellers.com. The author has also provided a handy guide with tips on reading to young children to improve pre-literacy skills.
