Safe From COVID Dance
Christian and Christine are DePaul University nursing students and interns with Words on Wheels. In this video they perform their “Safe From Covid Dance” to demonstrate hand washing and hygiene for kids. This was part of the viral TikTok dance about washing your hands--the song dubbed “Ghen Co Vy” (Vietnamese for coronavirus) — urges the public to “push the coronavirus away” by refraining from “rubbing one’s nose, mouth and eyes, limiting visits to public places" or to wash one’s hands thoroughly.

Reading to Your Toddler
Read, Speak, Sing: Your Baby and Early Literacy
From the Canadian Pediatric Society: "Learning to read starts from birth. Whether through books, words, or songs – daily language experiences help form an emotional bond with your baby and are vital to the development of your baby’s early literacy skills."
Words on Wheels believe that reading, speaking, and singing to babies and children promote literacy skills.
