Music is a wonderful way to encourage language development....and it's fun too!  Children's music is rich in language and helps children tune their ears into the structure of sentences and also the structure of words (rhymes, syllabification).  There are so many great children's musicians, but here are a few of our favorites:
*  Raffi
*  Laurie Berkner
*  Time to Sing  -  The popular children's songs on this recording have all been newly arranged. The words are much slower
than the originals, and make it easier for children to sing along. 
*  Dan Zanes
