Oh Dear, Look What I Got!
📚Everyone knows about the singable book “Going on a Bear Hunt” by Michael Wayne Rosen & illustrated by Helen Oxenbury…but did you know about their book, “Oh Dear, Look What I Got!”?
It’s also rhyming and conducive to a melody (club members can listen to mine on the site!) and I love the way it incorporates humor into each page. The main character is trying to buy a specific item at the shop, but the order keeps getting mixed up! At the end, he is able to exchange all of the mixed-up items for the ones he originally wanted :).
This singable book is perfect for rhyming awareness and for children to work on “yes/no” (i.e. the repeatable phrase in the book: “Do I want that? No, I do NOT!”)

5 ways I use the singable book, “Rattlin’ Bog”
☘️🎵“Rattlin’ Bog” is the perfect Irish folk song singable book to use for St. Patrick’s Day! Here are 5 ways I use it:
☘️1. SEQUENCING: “Rattlin’ Bog” is a cumulative song, meaning each verse adds to the previous one. What object did you see/hear about first in the Rattlin’ bog? Next? Last?
☘️2. LISTENING COMPREHENSION: Use laminated visuals (club members: these are available for you to download!) and put them in order on the floor. Step or wheel alongside the visual as they are mentioned in the song!
☘️3. MOVEMENT: For an extra challenge, mix up the visuals and scatter them across the floor! It’s a real workout when you have to hurry to the next item in the book and it’s all the way across the room. I was SWEATING today 😂.
☘️4. CORE WORDS: Practice the core word “in” on AAC devices (the word is used in the book over 30 times 🤯! What a fun way to work on core words when it’s already naturally embedded in the song!)
☘️5. TEAMWORK: Working with a group? Teamwork makes the dream work! Pass one visual poster to each student in the group and when they hear their “item” in the song, have them hold up the poster!

Pairing manipulatives (like the squirrel, acorns, apple shaker & leaves featured in this video) with singable books is a fun and interactive way to make the reading a sensory experience! 🍁🍂
