The Gruffalo Song

Turn story time into song time! This video puts the words of The Gruffalo to music, helping children fall in love with reading through rhythm, repetition, and rhyme. Follow the quick-witted mouse through the deep dark wood as he meets the fox, owl, and snake, and sings about a creature with terrible tusks, terrible claws, and terrible teeth. Perfect for: • Primary school teachers teaching EYFS and KS1 English • Parents and carers encouraging reading at home • Storytime, phonics, and listening skills • Building confidence, vocabulary, and reading fluency Why music helps: Setting familiar story words to music supports memory, comprehension, and engagement, especially for early readers and reluctant readers. Children naturally join in, anticipate repeated phrases, and retell the story with confidence. If you’re looking for a fun, musical way to bring a much-loved classroom story to life, this is for you!
