Rock 'N Learn

369 episodes

Rock N Learn has been making sing-along teaching videos for decades and the catalog shows it. Phonics songs for every letter and ending sound, sight-word practice for kindergarten, alphabet videos pairing each letter with two example words, and math sets that put addition and subtraction facts to country music or rap. Lengths swing hard: some clips run two minutes while the complete facts programs pass fifty. Alongside these sit classic children songs with on-screen lyrics and action songs for shaking out the wiggles. Best used the way the old classroom tapes were, with one skill played all the way through, then practiced off screen.
