Many of us can remember a favorite Nursery Rhyme from our childhood. As preschoolers our caregivers read them to us, we sang them on the playground, and later learned to read them ourselves! Nursery Rhymes are a wonderful way to support pre-readers as they develop essential skills such as rhyming, retelling stories, and learning speech patterns. This pack includes the following activities: This 49-page Mother Goose & Nursery Rhyme activity pack includes activities from many childhood favorites.
