I’m a big fan of mnemonics, songs and poems for learning. Anything that can help a child (or me!) remember information and keep learning fun is a terrific thing. When I came across William Avery’s site YESnack.com I knew I had to share it.
An obviously accomplished young man, William taught English as a second language in Taiwan, majored in East Asian Studies and Computer Science and has written and produced some very creative songs for learning that have more of a fun, funky, beat and I was hooked immediately. This is definitely geared for the smaller child, but I might have to memorize “Periodic Elements – Little Things Mean a Lot”, myself.
YESnack.com is running a contest right now. Use the contact form to enter -
The giveaway will be a free mp3 of the song “Periodic Elements – little things mean a lot”. Especially creative or funny answers to the question from my contact page “what is your favorite element and why?” may be randomly chosen for a bonus prize of the “Learning Buffet” or “Cool Songs Collection”.
A great addition to your teaching tools, don’t you think? His CDs are available for download through his site, Amazon, iTunes and CDBaby.
Full disclosure: I was not compensated in anyway for this post – it’s just something I thought was useful and wanted to share with my readers.
