Includes 10 Musical Poems written with Michael Rosen, Children’s Laureate, Professor of Children’s Literature at Goldsmiths University and author of ‘We’re Going On A Bear Hunt.’ Here’s what Michael says about the Boogie Mites App:
We all love music!
And now neuroscience evidence shows that active music making provides a rich learning environment that helps children develop the key skills they need to speak, count, read and make friends.
But if you’re not a musician, you may be thinking “ I don’t know how to bring the power of music into my home!”
That’s why we have created the Boogie Mites App.
It’s for anyone who wants to use joyful music activities to give their child the best educational start in life.
In this short video, our partner Dr Anita Collins explains how children under 5 who have been involved in daily music making, develop the cognitive structures that allow them to become competent readers when they get to school:

The impact of Boogie Mites
Sometimes it’s hard to believe that something as fun and natural as music can have so many benefits for our children’s development and wellbeing. That’s why it’s great to hear from educators like Sarah who see the difference that daily Boogie Mites activities make:
“Those who came up from our Nursery where Boogie Mites songs had been used over the summer term had well developed phase one skills particularly in listening, rhythm, and rhyme.” Sarah Caird, Assistant Head Cranmer Primary, EYFS Lead
So if you want to support your children to thrive at school, with the language, reading and social skills that provide the foundation for future success, then why not add music making to your daily activities? With the Boogie Mites app it’s easy. Children love to follow along to our action packed music videos.
