Nursery Rhymes

We had a very successful first couples of weeks learning new names and building new relationships. During circle time, we are demonstrating phonological awareness by learning the nursery rhymes Humpty Dumpty, The Three Little Kittens, and Little Miss Muffet. Phonological awareness, or phonological sensitivity, is the ability to discern the sounds and patterns of spoken language. Phonological awareness is an important skill in learning to read. Children become phonologically aware through experiences such as reciting poems and nursery rhymes, singing, and clapping the syllables of chanted words.
