Nursery Rhyme Overview
Reciting nursery rhymes for
your toddler is a great way to expand language learning. Your toddler
will love the rhythmic pattern of the rhymes and enjoy watching you speak
to him or her.
For each of the 24 lessons
I have suggested a nursery rhyme for you to recite and/or sing for your
toddler. Try to memorize the rhyme yourself so you can repeat it
for your toddler often. I personally like to alternate between speaking
and singing the rhyme to provide a greater learning experience. Suggested
times to share each nursery rhyme are while changing, dressing, feeding,
cuddling, rocking, etc.
