young children basic skills. I researched all the available material. I couldn't find anything out there that would: cover the essentials be able to be used both in a group and /or individually combine all the learning styles give children the freedom to learn in their own way Why Music? As I had a hearing problem and was only just learning to talk when I started school, I lagged behind and found school a real struggle. Music was my lifeline. It made me feel good as music used my whole body and mind, unlike many other activities. The whole brain lights up. There is nothing quite so soothing than when I'm in the zone and I feel on top of the world. WiseCats WiseCats is the result of the lessons the children have taught me. By combining music and movement, letter shape, early phonics, early sight words, mathematics and crafts, WiseCats ensures that all the children get a chance to shine at their own level. As the same material is used throughout the program, the children are able to access the material in a way that best suits them. Kinetic Learners: There is room in the program for these learners to bounce around feeling the letters, music and counting. They become involved and engaged Visual Learners: Love the animations. Their interest is captured when they see the movement of the letters as the letters are traced. They can see the relationship between the pitch of notes as their bodies move
