I'm doing basic sight singing with my 4th-5th grade choir. These readers takes a simplified version of each line of the song "Oh, Music" by Lowell Mason and gradually make the sight singing more like the real line of the song until singers can read the full line on solfege. Here is the song if you need to reference it.

"Oh, Music" is also a good song to have your students work on tonic and dominant chord tone harmonies, and is of course a 3-part round. So many possibilities!
