The rhymes in these poems help kids learn them really quickly.Īpart from introducing children to poetry and phonetic sounds, nursery rhymes lend themselves well to school recitations too. Nursery rhymes combine the wonderful world of fantastical stories with easy to grasp music and make it easy for younger kids to learn and listen to the sounds of language. It is a lullaby, the perfect rhyme for a recital for a kindergarten class and maybe even the first step for a child into the world of poetry. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star has been used by generations of parents to make their child smile. So, what is it about simple English poems for kids that makes them our fall back option? However, a nursery rhyme in its most basic form is a poem. When we think of nursery rhymes we immediately associate them with kindergarten children or even toddlers.
The phonological awareness rhyming words create also helps them later on to read, write, and spell. When words are set to a tune and reinforced it helps them learn the lesson faster. This is a great way to get younger kids to learn new lessons. Studies show that children learn and remember simple songs and words that rhyme. The first lessons taught in school are set to rhymes such as the clean up song, the good morning song, or even the magic words song. Simple, easy rhymes like the Twinklw Twinkle Little Star have been taught in schools and sung by generations of kids. However, when I sang this in front of hundreds of parents in 1987 as part of a class recital – complete with actions, music, and my tiny hands clasped tightly behind my back – I knew poetry recitation was something I wanted to keep doing and exploring. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star may have been published way back in 1806. I have a strange connection with this nursery rhyme.
