why teach nursery rhymes?

Nursery rhymes provide a foundation for literacy. Children who know their nursery rhymes tend to have strong language skills. Nursery rhymes help babies to develop listening skills and tune into rhyme and voice inflections. They help babies to imitate hand gestures and sounds.

Nursery rhymes are best learnt when they are practiced frequently and made fun. As your baby gets used to the song, try to do LESS so that your baby can do MORE. This shows your baby is learning and is laying all the basics for language development and literacy.
