This song teaches contextual reading strategies and word attack skills.
Children can rap with me. On "hop," they can hop with their whole bodies or just with their hands as a fingerplay. Get a frog puppet and make the frog hop when I sing that part.
When you come to a word
You can't figure out
No need to panic
No need to pout
Just think like a frog,
You'll know what to do
Hop over the word
And read on for a clue
Hop, Hop, Hop
Hop over it.
Hop, Hop, Hop
Hop over it.
Chorus:
Hop over it. Hop over it.
A word you can't figure out.
Hop over it. Hop over it.
No need to panic or pout.
Hop, Hop, Hop
Hop over it.
Here are some clues
That you can use:
What looks right?
What sounds right?
And what makes sense?
Is it a big word
Or a small word?
Do the best you can.
