Nursery rhymes

Songs

Reasons
- nursery rhymes are often
catchy and can easily
attract childrens interest
- rhymes sensitize a child
to the individual units of
sound that make up a
word. These units are
known as phonemes.
Knowing what units of
sound are in a word help
children to know how to
read and spell a word
when the time comes.
- singing and acting out
nursery rhymes and finger
plays with your child lets
them know that you enjoy
spending time with them
and that you are interested
in their lives. Nursery
rhymes introduce literature
as recreation and can
translate into a love of
reading as the child grows.
- The kids that listen to
and sing songs develop an
understanding of words
that sound similar and
develop a broader
understanding of the
English Language. As a
result, they often read
better than their peers and
actually enjoy it.
- A child that has learnt
this characteristic of rhyme

Short story

lessons which will be
planted in their young
minds and that they can
ponder upon as they grow
older.

imaginative thinking which
leads to creativity

can train students to listen
more attentively to others

Nursery rhyme

- When you read nursery

rhymes to your children,
youre essentially telling
them a story. To make
sense of the story, children
have to pay attention to
you and the rhyme,
thereby making them good
listeners an invaluable
trait for later years.
- The rhythm and melody
inherent in all nursery
rhymes sensitize children
to sound. The patterned
phonemic and phonetic
organization of nursery
rhymes lets children catch
repetitive sounds, making
them think about tunes,
tones, notes and the ways
in which sound can be
organized in language.

1. Teacher chants a
nursery rhyme for the
students.
2. Students are required to
chant the same nursery
rhyme after that.
3. The teacher will pick a
few students at random
and asks them to tell the
whole class their best
friends hobbies.
