My Nursery Rhymes Pack
The My Nursery Rhymes Pack is a revised version of the two previous programs based around nursery rhymes: Nursery Rhymes Program and Nursery Rhymes for Young Children.
It combines the whole class activities, which only require minimal set-up support materials, but also offers the follow-up individual or home-based activities for those children who require some extra practice in developing these skills. The activities support the key areas of phonemic awareness: rhyming, syllabification, identifying initial and final sounds, word segmenting, and sound blending.
Each nursery rhyme set contains:
- an initial 'talk-about' topic to help children establish a context
- a barrier game, based loosely around a theme from the nursery rhyme
- 4 activities designed for the whole class or a small group of children
3 or 4 more activities which have been written more towards individual practice.
There is enough instruction provided in these resources for a teacher aide or parent to work through with children - either individually or in small groups.
All activities have the necessary support materials in the program provided as black line masters.
The 12 nursery rhymes available so far include:
Hickory, dickory, dock - sample pages (click to download)
