The Steps to HAPPY Learning (I'M HAPPY)
- Imagine It
We can start the creative learning engine by engaging the imagination. Show the children the cover to the book and ask some questions.
- Mix with the Magic of Music
Enjoy the rhythm, the instruments and the beat of the music to help your child intuit what the book is about.
- Hear It
Once their imagination is sparked, let the children hear the song and see the images. We use our ears to hear, but we think in images. As the children hear the song, they can understand the meanings of the words through the simple images in the book.
- Activate It
Young children are naturally active and want to touch things, spin things, open things, and move things. Each book in Honeysuckle Cottage has a game designed to engage the physical senses and to build learning skills such as memory, deductive thinking, perception, imagination, concentration and predicting.
- Pronounce It
The next step is to repeat the key words so that the
child knows how to correctly say the key words. By listening to and repeating the Cool Key Words track, the child can become familiar with the key words and can start
to sing along.
- Perform It
Gestures and movement are a great tool for helping children understand the meanings of the words. By turning each book into a performance with music, words and movement, confidence is gained and the child learns how to harmonize the mind with the body. A little performance, which can be as simple as a morning song time, can be a small goal that every child can successfully achieve.
- Yours Through Correct Repeition
We all grow up hearing “Practice makes perfect.” Unfortunately, this is not true. Practice makes permanent or as the famous football coach, Vince Lombardi said, “Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.” Correct repetition is key to learning any skill whether it be football, playing the piano or learning to read. By reviewing the music, words, games, and images often and finding creative ways to explore Honeysuckle Cottage, your child will be well on his or her way to HAPPY LEARNING THROUGH MUSIC.
Tomorrow, let's get into How the Happy Learning Process Works.

Hi there, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any help is very much appreciated.

Howdy this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
