Parent Tip: Learning name and address
Song: “Rain, Rain, Go Away” (Wee Sing Children's Songs and Fingerplays)
• The rhythm and melody of the song help reinforce the learning of this important concept.
• Children should know that their address is where they live because sometimes they will be asked, “Where do you live?” instead of, “What is your address?”
• Sing the following words to the tune “Rain, Rain, Go Away.”
My name is
_________ __________,
(first name) (last name)
This is where I live, (or, This is my address,)
_______ __________,
(number) (street)
______________, _____________.
(city) (state)
When your child can sing his/her name and address, encourage sharing what he/she has learned for the rest of the family.
