These songs were written especially to increase children's awareness of the sounds in words (phonemic awareness) They were inspired by and based upon the work of Dr. Orna Lenchner, reading specialist, author, educator, and creator of the innovative The Sounds Abound program (LinguiSystems), video and games.

Singer-songwriter arranger-producer Fran Avni has been creating original songs for children for over two decades.
