Nursery Rhymes are Fun for Students and Teachers!These fun poems help young readers practice basic foundational literacy skills and become better readers… plus, they’re silly and always make me smile. Of course, the kiddos like them too!
When I first started teaching first grade, I didn’t have a ton of books in my classroom library, but I could copy nursery rhymes and have them right at my fingertips.
That’s how this resource was born. LOL.
Our campus didn’t have any guided reading books. Can you imagine?? Nursery Rhymes saved me! I don’t know what I would have done without them.
Free Books for Your Kids to Read at Home!Eventually, I created these mini-books so I could print them for my classroom. Because they are only made out of copy paper, my students could also take them home and add them to their own home library.
Below is a list of literacy skills that you can practice with your students while using nursery rhymes:
- phonemic awareness
- phonological awareness
- hear letter sounds
- discriminate syllables
- letter identification
- rhyming words
- phonics skills
- word families
- fluency
- sight words
- comprehension
- pretty much any beginning reading skill

Train your child's memory! nine0175
Not every child can patiently listen to the end of a fairy tale or other prose story. Whereas children's poems do not tire with monotony, the rhyme in them jumps as if over bumps, easily holding the attention of a small listener. It's amazing how quickly children memorize rhymes, it's worth saying a few times, as they already agree on the ending with you. Be sure to use this ability, training memory from childhood, you will greatly simplify your child's schooling.
Start with the poems of Agnia Barto in the “Toys” section, look for small quatrains, they are perfectly remembered. Most of them you yourself still remember by heart. So right? nine0003
How to learn a poem for the holiday?
In kindergarten and school, your child will often face the need to recite poems in front of the public. It can be a New Year's party or an ordinary lesson, in any case, it is important that he is not afraid of this. But all you need to do is pay a little attention to it.
The poem must be learned in advance and repeated at home as if in between times, without focusing on the importance of the event. For example, you can say: “Remember, you and I learned a great rhyme? Well, tell it to me." Children's poems are usually simple and the child will quickly remember them. You can rehearse by telling a poem to dad or mom, grandfather or grandmother. You need to ask to speak loudly and with expression, but in no case should you lecture or interrupt during the speech.
How your peers and you react to the first performance of a small artist is of great importance, so it is better to start with relatives. Having told a few rhymes to familiar people and, having received a benevolent reaction, you will give confidence to the baby. Poems for children at matinees perfectly train public speaking skills. nine0003
Poems for babies
Babies develop rapidly, instantly absorbing information about everything that is happening around. Music, fairy tales and poems come to the aid of mothers. All poems in the collection are selected taking into account age characteristics. Their heroes are familiar and familiar toys, baby animals or the same children as a small listener. With such verses for kids it is easy to interest even the biggest fidget.
One of the important tasks of poems for kids is to make life more interesting. After all, it is much more fun to wash your face in the morning when mom tells a rhyme. Yes, and porridge will be tastier, and compote is sweeter.
And the rainiest weather will not seem so gloomy if you choose the right words. nine0003
Clubfoot bear
Clubfoot bear
Walks through the forest,
(We walk briskly)
Collects cones,
Sings songs.
(Squatting - collecting bumps)
The bump bounced off
Right in the bear's forehead.
(Hold hands on the forehead)
The bear got angry
And with the foot - top!
(Stomp our feet)
Gray bunny
Gray bunny sit
(We sit like a bunny)
And move our ears,
Just like that, like that!
(We move our ears-palms)
Bunny is cold to sit,
Warm up the paws,
Clap-clap, clap-clap.
(Clap your hands)
Bunny is cold to stand,
Bunny needs to jump.
Hop-hop, skip-hop.
(Let's jump like a bunny)
Two funny sheep
Two funny sheep
Played near the river.
Jump-jump, jump-jump!
(Jumping merrily)
White sheep jumping
Early in the morning near the river.
Jump-jump, jump-jump!
Up to the sky, down to the grass.
Up to the sky, down to the grass.
(We get up on our legs, stretch up. We squat, we lower our hands down)
And then we circled
(We spin)
And fell into the river.
(Falling)
A horned goat is walking
A horned goat is walking
(Putting "horns" to the head)
After the little guys.
Legs - top-top!
(Stomp our feet)
Eyes - clap-clap!
(We close our eyes and open our eyes)
Who doesn't eat porridge?
Who doesn't drink milk?
(We threaten with a finger)
Gore, gore!
(Butting heads)
Two bugs
Two bugs in the clearing
Hopak danced:
(Dancing, hands on the belt)
Right leg top, top!
(Stomp with the right foot)
With the left foot top, top!
(Left foot stomp)
Handles up, up, up!
Who will raise above all?
(Stand on tiptoes, stretch up)
Top-top - Learning to walk!
Legs, legs,
Run along the path,
Pick peas.
Big feet
Walked on the road:
Top-top-top-top-top,
Top-top-top-top-top.
Little feet
Run along the path:
Top-top-top-top-top,
Top-top-top-top-top.
Teeth
Like Masha has two teeth.
Don't bite them, daughter!
Don't bite, eat,
Listen to mom and dad.
E. Grigoryeva
Naughty spoon
Our spoon is naughty!
Instead of a mouth, I got into my ear!
Ai-ai-ai! - what a spoon!
I'll punish her a little.
Lazgdyn
While falling asleep
Sleeping eyes and sleeping cheeks
Tired babies.
Eyelashes and palms sleep,
Bellies and legs sleep.
And tiny ears
Sweetly doze on the pillow.
The curls are sleeping, the hands are sleeping,
Only the noses are sniffling.
I. Gurina
Stomper
Stomp, stomp -
Stomp!
And I'll trample -
I'll stop trampling!
I won't go on the heels,
After all, there are only slippers left!
And I'll go, I'll go again
I stomp on my heels!
A.
