This easy to use set of materials based on children's favorite nursery rhymes will provide a treasure chest of activities for teaching research-based literacy concepts such as phonetic awareness, onsets and rimes, and the voice-to-print match.
Each of the lessons uses the context of the rhyme to create fun ways to learn more about literacy. Use the lessons to model important literacy concepts or to have children
explore literacy concepts on their own.
The authors have synthesized the research and provided easy to follow research-based teaching instructions focusing on developing knowledge for beginning reading, writing, and spelling.
