Elementary Music Reading: Read the Lyrics

Description
Elementary Music Lesson Plan for teaching 2nd graders how to read lyrics. Reading the lyrics set to music notation is very different from reading a story in a book. Take advantage of their desire to show off their text reading abilities by showing them how to follow the words, verses, and the refrain in a song. Includes teaching Powerpoint.
