1. Jazzles Printable LYRICS Bold Worksheets:
Each Jazzles song focuses on an alphabet letter, using as many words as possible that begin with the focus letter while making sense of the lyrics!

5. READ and COLOR Worksheet:
This is a relaxed, happy, play-based experience to help children develop small motor and reading skills based on awareness that images on paper communicate an author's story and meaning.

• The pages use images children have familiarized from the Animations. Use to prompt recall of the relevant key words from the song.
• Have the children read the text aloud when finished coloring. This helps understanding of the initial sound and word meanings though picture associations and the use of alliterative oral language.
• Schedule for rest time.
