LEVEL 1: NURSEY RHYMES

Hi there!! In this part of the blog I'm going to show you different examples of how to introduce "phonemic awareness" to our children. 
The content is divided into 9 levels. Here I present you the first one: "Nursery rhymes".

Sooooooo why nursery rhymes?? Well, it's well known that children love singing and dancing. Also, the nursery rhymes have a base music that is familiar for the children and it will make it easier for them to remember the songs. 
Nursery rhymes are really important for learning how English works, they rhyme and the rhythm of these help the students to become familiar with the rhythm of the English language.

There are nursery rhymes for every topic you can think of: numbers, colours, characters... So with nursery rhymes we have a wide range of possibilities of teaching different topics in an active and funny way.

I leave you here a list with some nursery rhymes that I like with the lyrics and the link to the youtube video. Hope you like it! 😉
