During virtual preschool this week we will learn 5 silly nursery rhymes. Unlike fairy tales which are stories, nursery rhymes are short poems. They have characters, rhymes, and new words. It is fun and important to memorize a bunch of them!

Nursery Rhymes are important to young children’s development of pre-reading skills. Nursery rhymes help children learn phonological (sound) concepts in fun and engaging ways. They also allow children to hear and practice fluency with the English language. Nursery Rhymes are great venues to teach rhyming, beginning sounds, develop a deeper and more varied vocabulary, enhance listening skills, memory skills, gain confidence and have fun with language. Nursery Rhymes are perfect for teaching the foundational skills needed for a child to become a good reader. How I Use Nursery Rhymes I focus on one nursery rhyme for two weeks (Update: With the kinder team I am now on we do one Nursery Rhyme a week. So, many more have been added since I first made this page.). On Monday of the first week I send home a Note and Retell Pieces for my families. The purpose is two fold. One, since the note includes the nursery rhyme lyrics, it allows my families to know what version and how much of the rhyme we are working on. Second, the retell pieces allow for practice and memorization work at home in a fun way.

However, they would be great as an independent center or directed center as well. These readers can go home on the day they are assigned giving my students and their families another way to practice the rhyme at home or they can stay at school in a book box that students use for various activities.
