I do like this CD. Some of the ditties seem a bit long for the information you are getting. Also, most are just set to rhythm. Not to tune as I had thought it would be. It wasn't exactly what I hoped it would be, but I am sure my children will learn from it.
As a homeschooling parent of a child with ADHD, I've long been a fan of Carol Barnier's talks and books. I was excited to finally get a copy of Ditty Bugs. Although she cautions against listening to the entire thing at once, my kids beg for it! They each have some favorite ditties. Because mine are in elementary, some of the ditties are over their heads, but they enjoy them regardless and they're picking up knowledge effortlessly. I overhear them chanting the ditties to themselves sometimes around the house. They've challenged themselves to learn the Presidents ditty, and we're working on it a little more each time.
Awesome!! Although the ditties are catchy and can get stuck in your head, thats the point. Even my 3 yr old is repeating the ditties from the back seat. Some may be a bit advanced for lower elementary but they will learn it all eventually and it won't hurt to have the repetition already in their head. Even my husband and I have retained some information we previously may not have gotten in school. Totally wonderful CD!!
Recently heard her speak at the Indy Homeschool Convention and picked this up for my very active kiddos. We've been keeping it in the car and listening to it over and over (and over and over...Haha!). They love it! As another reviewer said, it's over their heads for now, but they're still storing it away for later. They don't seem to mind AT ALL that they're not musical. Great teaching tool!
Next Volume Please!Our kids love the ditties! My 4th grader thinks it is so cool that she can name all the presidents! I found myself using the pints a pound song!! If you can find the time to make more Mrs. Barnier please do!
If you love ditties and agree with Carol that Ditties are one of the most effective ways to learn, you should look into Classical Conversations--a homeschooling program that is comprised of LOTS and LOTS of memory work set to engaging songs and tunes. My highly-distractable kids, as well as my other kids LOVE CC!
love it. great to listen to in the car
