About This Lesson
A celebration of music and movement, this story in verse is inspired by the riffs, rhythms, and freedom of jazz. A fun rhythmic story that encourages children to tap, snap, swing, and sway, to the jazzy musical beat. Jazz Baby is an exciting way to introduce young children to the instruments and rhythms of jazz. The lesson plan for Jazz Baby from Lee & Low Books includes ideas for providing a supportive introduction to the book and preparing children to read the story, suggestions for observing reading behaviors, discussion questions, ELL support, and interdisciplinary activities.
