Nursery rhymes, a fantastic way to capture students attention
when teaching young learners.
But nursery rhymes are so much more than just fun songs for kids,
nursery rhymes help to develop student's phonological awareness
and this in turn helps students to prepare better
for a reading and writing course when they're older.
I talk about this in more depth
in my phonics series, which you can find linked below.
So today I want to share three nursery rhymes and the actions I use to teach them,
so that you can try in your class with your students.
Without further ado, let's get started.
Are you ready?
Hands on your head
Ba Ba black sheep
have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
three bags full.
One for the master
one for the dame
and one for the little boy that lives down the lane
Are you ready?
Humpty!
Dumpty
Are you ready?
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put humpty, together again.
