Rhyming and Numbers Rumba Fun

The Rumba series 2 for 1 pack is excellent value for money and the perfect investment in your child's future. The Rumba series features two albums - Rhyming Rumba and Numbers Rumba and the kids will be dancing up a storm as they learn.

Some of those daunting literacy tasks have been turned into a heap of fun on Rhyming Rumba by putting them to an infectious Latin beat and adding in some catchy and funny lyrics. It all works together to reinforce learning, and is aimed at the early years of primary school - preschool to Year 3 - where those vital foundations of learning to read, write and understand language are laid down for life.

Rhyming Rumba explores rhyming sounds on 'The Rhyming Rumba', makes word families almost human on 'A Word Family' and takes the kids on a conga line through the complexities of syllables on 'Oh Syllable Samba'. We may not normally stop to think about it, but the rhythms and beat of music are based very much on numbers and counting. So it seems only natural to bring music and maths together to create an exciting new learning environment for children.

Numbers Rumba, is a sensational mixture of music, numbers, counting and cool Latin rhythms. The songs are so catchy that the album’s bound to be a hit with the kids, and they'll learn some of the basics of maths and numbers without even trying! It covers a wide range of concepts, from time ('We Need a Clock') to the sometimes difficult subject of fractions (dealt with in the sultry and very appealing 'Fraction Action'). 'Work it Out' encourages children to stop and work out a problem before deciding they can’t do it, and the album’s wonderful first track, 'Numbers R 4 Counting' provides a great introduction to maths and numbers.
