Literacy & Music: Book Review Kate the Great and the Middle C Music Shop

Literacy & Music: Book Review Kate the Great and the Middle C Music Shop

Literacy is a big part of the Kindermusik philosophy. During this time you can be expanding your child's exposure to literacy at home with many wonderful books and resources you already have! You can use your home materials from class or even re-read your child's favorite book over and over again since children truly do learn best through repetition. Today we are sharing a book review from Kindermusik to build the bridge between literacy and music even more. Kate the Great and the Middle C Music Shop is the first book in the Kate the Great picture book series, written by Wayne Bartholomew and Jaime Garcia and is a kind of interactive comic book style picture book. With the gentle guidance of an adult, an open-ended interpretation of the illustrations, and listening to the instruments at www.katethegreatcomics.com while you read the book, the book promises to provide a delightful and innovative experience with the instruments – and will likely cause you and your child to listen to music in a whole new way! You may already own this book, but if not, there are sample pages included on the Kate the Great website as well as a link to online retailers where it is available for purchase, OR you can even just use the website to listen to music and the instruments in the book to explore the sounds with your little one at home!
