What kids do

- A saying helps you remember them:
- Every Good Bird Does Fly.
- Make up your own saying for E G B D F and write it on the back.
- Write the letter name of each line note.
Teacher tip
Hold up five fingers sideways as a staff and tap each finger from the bottom while saying the saying. Kids can check their answers on their own hand.
How to use it
- Teach the lines and the spaces on different days before you mix them.
- Say the saying while you point up the staff from the bottom.
- Make the sound first. Clap, sing or play the idea before kids see it on paper.
Watch for
Counting from the top line. Start at the bottom every time.
Talk about it
