Nursery Rhymes Enhance Learning

Research has shown that Nursery Rhymes help children become better readers. Nursery rhymes make literacy fun for children as well as introducing them to new sounds and words. Rhyming is important in developing phonemic awareness in children! The repetitious nature of nursery rhymes allows children to memorize basic structures and patterns necessary to master the English language. Share nursery rhymes at home using different tones, speeds and rhythms to your voice to help children develop a love of nursery rhymes and in the process you will enhance their literacy skills! Here is a project you can make for Baa Baa Black Sheep to add to your nursery rhyme adventure!
