Michael Rosen has fun with numbers, he practices counting forward and backwards
using rhythm and rhyme for the very young
This video is for very young children - Early Years, and it's been written by Early Years specialist Leanne Galloway using my poems and traditional rhymes taken from my collections. The idea is to help children enjoy the fun of words and language through rhythm and rhyme. In the video I repeat the rhymes so that children can learn them. This is a great way for children to become fluent talkers.
In this video, I have fun with numbers. I hope the children will too."
All the best
