Rhyming Words, Word Families and Vocabulary
I love the mixture of word families with rhyming words. Nursery rhymes are full of rhyming words to use. Often they have unfamiliar vocabulary words in them which can be used to teach children new vocabulary words. This is the start of a series using nursery rhymes in the classroom. Use one nursery rhyme a week to teach the concepts of rhyming, word families and new vocabulary. We will explore a series of nursery rhymes and teaching activities for each nursery rhyme.
