12 Powerful Words by newcoolnow

These words are based on instruction by Larry Bell on the 12 Powerful Words that are consistently used in testing situations for kids. http://www.larry-bell.com/

I found a song version on youtube and then took it to the next level adding a beat and some consistency in the key of the song. Even though it's occasionally a little off, I think it works well enough that I'm not hoping to change it in any way.

I based much of my melody on this youtube video: http://youtu.be/Dguxb5VuB0Y
