  • 6Teaching TipsTo enhance childrens reading experiences, use these tips as you introduce and share the Nursery Rhyme Readers.

    Before ReadingShow the cover of the book and read aloud the title. Have children comment on the cover illustration and tell what they know about the nursery rhyme. Since nursery rhymes often contain unfamiliar vocabulary, skim the book and introduce any vocabulary that will help childrens understanding of the story. For example, for Little Miss Muffet, discuss tuffet, curds, and whey.

    During ReadingThe first time through, read the nursery rhyme aloud from beginning to end to let children hear the rhyme, enjoy it, and get a feel for the language. On subsequent readings, help engage children in the reading process by following these suggestions.

    L Model reading for children by tracking a line of print from left to right, turning the pages, and using picture clues. Invite children to comment on the illustrations on each page.

    L Reread the story, asking children to listen for words that rhyme. Then read aloud again, this time stopping at words that rhyme and letting children chime in on them. Next, invite children to join in for a shared reading, pointing to each word as you read it.

    L Model strategies for decoding words, such as finding beginning sounds, using picture clues, and sounding out words.

    L Point out punctuation and capital letters. Discuss what symbols such as periods, commas, questions marks, and exclamation marks mean, and how they affect the reading of the rhyme.

    L Invite children to clap their hands along with you to the rhythm of the rhyme as you read aloud.

    After ReadingHelp children respond to the nursery rhyme by following these suggestions.

    L Ask questions to check for understanding. For example, after reading Humpty Dumpty, ask questions such as: What happened to Humpty when he fell? Who tried to help Humpty after he fell? Why couldnt the kings horses and men put Humpty back together?

  • 7L Ask children if they liked the rhyme, and what they liked most or least. Have them retell the rhyme in their own words.

    Using the Reproducible Nursery Rhyme PagesAfter reading a nursery rhyme several times, give children a copy of the nursery rhyme reproducible to use for independent reading, for reading in pairs or groups,

    for classroom activities, and for sharing with family members. These pages are a great way to encourage repeated readings, develop fluency, and to do specific skill work.

    Have children make a folder of the nursery rhyme pages. Provide a blank folder for children to title My Nursery Rhymes, and let them decorate it. Have them insert the nursery rhymes as they read them. They can also keep the Nursery Rhyme Reader Log in the folder, as well as activity sheets that they complete. Let children take home the folder to share with family members from time to time.

    Have children follow along as you read the rhyme, tracking the print as you read. Ask them to underline or circle the rhyming words on their sheet. Also use the pages to have children identify specific letters, words with specific consonants, blends, vowel patterns, phonograms, and sight words. (You might wish to enlarge one copy of the rhyme and place it on an easel for children to see.)

    Some of the lesson pages have specific suggestions for using the reproducible versions of the nursery rhymes.

    Using the Lesson Pages and Reproducible Activity PagesFor each Nursery Rhyme Reader, use the activities on the lesson page found in this teaching guide to delve further into the areas of phonemic awareness, phonics, comprehension, vocabulary, reading, and writing. Each nursery rhyme includes a reproducible activity page specific to it. Spread the lesson and activities for each rhyme over several days.

    Humpty DumptyLearning With the Nursery RhymeSee pages 67 for suggested ways to read and share the book with children. Then focus on the following activities.

    A New Name for Humpty Dumpty Say aloud the word Humpty in parts: /h/umpty. Have children blend the word. Have children blend the word Dumpty the same way. Tell children that the words rhyme because they sound the same at the end. They both end with umpty. Show children how you can make another word that rhymes by changing the first soundfor example, you can change /d/ to /b/ and make Bumpty. Invite children to say Humpty Bumpty. Then ask them to change Humpty Dumptys name again by changing the first sound in Bumpty, for example, Humpty Mumpty. Children can also make up new names that rhyme, such as Higgy Piggy, Lucky Bucky, or Hacky Packy. Make a list of these silly rhyming names and have children recite the nursery rhyme with the new names.

    Short /a/ Wordplay Say aloud the following words from the rhyme: sat, put, had. Ask children: Which two words have the same middle sound? Orally segment the words so that children can listen for the short /a/ sound in sat and had: (/s/ /a/ /t/, /h/ /a/ /d/) Then, reread the rhyme slowly, asking children to find another word with the short /a/ sound (and). Play a game in which you slowly recite a list of one-syllable words and children cheer Yay! when they hear the short /a/ sound.

    All in the Family Write the word family all on the chalkboard or on chart paper. Say: The letters a-l-l make the /all/ sound. Distribute the reproducible version of the nursery rhyme. Have children find and circle the words with this pattern (wall, fall, All, all) and then generate a list of other words that rhyme. Copy, cut out, and distribute the broken egg templates on page 34. Instruct children to complete the eggs by writing an onset (beginning sound) and rime (vowel and letters that follow) on each half of the egg for words in the all family, such as ball, call, hall, mall, and tall. Have children take apart the eggs and then put them back together, reading the words. Use the eggs for other word families as well.

    Its a Story! Create a graphic organizer on chart paper by drawing a large egg shape and dividing it into three horizontal sections. Label the sections Beginning, Middle, and Ending. Read the label of each section, explaining that stories have these three parts. Invite children to complete the organizer by retelling the events in their own words. Prompt them with the questions below.

    What happened at the beginning? (Humpty Dumpty was sitting on a wall.)

    What happened next? (Humpty fell off the wall and broke.)

    What happened at the end? (The kings horses and men tried to fix him but they couldnt.)

    Now focus on the ending. Say: Poor Humpty! Hes still broken! Ask children to help Humpty by creating new endings to the story that would solve Humptys problem.

    Punctuation Pointer Explain the use of the apostrophe in the word Kings. Have children replace horses and men in the text with other things that could belong to the king.
