How to use this song with your child

1. 1

   Make “sognare” the word of the day

   This song repeats “sognare” (dream) on 7 lines. Use it once or twice during the day outside the song, and let your child correct you if you get it wrong.

2. 2

   Pause between the call and the answer

   The song moves back and forth between English and Italian. On a second listen, pause after an English line and let your child try the Italian answer before the song sings it.

3. 3

   Make it a routine

   At 2:02, play it once a day at the same moment for a week. Wave every time the greeting comes round in the song; then wave without the music and see if your child says the word.
