Have you seen all of Susan’s wonderful pre-reading songs? I have used these with so many students, and they have all been well-loved. Following in her example, I have done up some LDS children’s Primary songs into a pre-reading format. I have versions with finger numbers and letter names. So far I only done 8 songs, but hopefully that number will continue to grow.
I have new respect for Susan. They are sure time consuming, especially when you add all of the wonderful graphics and color that she does.

Very cool D’Net!
Thank you for posting these songs. I tried “Once there was a Snowman” with my son and had him build a snowman with big marshmallows for each line he could play correctly. He earned some chocolate chips for the last line to make a face and then had a nice treat to eat when he was done. He loved playing a song that he gets to sing in primary. I think I’ll use it with my more experienced students to have them transpose it to various 5 finger scales.
What a great idea, Heidi! I am going to do that with my students.
I am knew to your sight, but love all your piano ideas. I can’t seem to get the primary songs to come up though. I would love to try some of them with my students.
D-Net, Thanks for these. I was printing some out for my granddaughter today and ran into a couple of complications. Book of Mormon Stories, I Am a Child of God — only print out the letters and not the notes. Also, Once There Was a Snowman — I tried to print as letters — and it only printed as numbers. I didn’t print everything so I’m not sure about them all. But A Happy Family seemed to print out OK with the letters. Just an FYI!!!
