Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes Gr. K-1

Book excerpt: Mother Goose's tried and true nursery rhymes provide a springboard for this unit that is specifically designed for use during the critical first months of grade one, when children have limited reading and writing skills. Our highly structured unit focuses on building children's sight word vocabulary and introduces them to writing in complete (but simple) sentences as a class activity. The list of fun, familiar rhymes includes Humpty Dumpty, Star Light, Jack Be Nimble, Jack Sprat, Hickory Dickory Dock, Three Blind Mice, Hey Diddle Diddle, Little Jack Horner. This Nursery Rhymes lesson provides a teacher and student section with reading passages, activities, rhyme game, unit test, and self evaluation to create a well-rounded lesson plan.
