The Rhyme and Reason of Mother Goose
There has been extensive research done to the importance of children learning nursery rhymes. Babies, toddlers and preschoolers love to hear their favorite rhymes over and over again. The ability to repeat a rhyme or finger play gives children a sense of satisfaction.
Please join the Read to Read staff as we explore why Mother Goose and poetry are essential to early literacy. Learn ways you can use Mother Goose with young children. A make and take will give you something new to use the very next day. 1.5 hours continuing education earned by attending this workshop
