Pack your bags and grab your headphones — it’s time to travel to Italy with Beats Bear! 🐻🎧

In this fun, music-filled episode of Travel Beats, young listeners explore Italy while learning an important reading skill: how past-tense -ed words sound. Through upbeat songs, call-and-response chants, and rhythmic raps, kids learn to hear and say the three -ed sounds:

• /t/ as in walked

• /d/ as in traveled

• /ɪd/ as in visited

🎶 What’s inside this episode:

• A high-energy ED Sounds Rap

• A call-and-response chant kids can join in on

• A fun spelling song to spell I-T-A-L-Y

• A musical tour of Italian cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence

• Clear movement cues (clap, step, stomp) to help learning stick

Perfect for early readers, emerging writers, and neurodivergent learners, this episode combines phonics, geography, music, and movement into one engaging listening experience. Great for the classroom, the car, or learning at home!

In this episode of Travel Beats, we travel to Korea and explore K-pop, Seoul, and traditional hanbok through music and rhythm.
