I was recently sent a Mother Goose Club DVD and 2 CDs to review. We had a rainy day and took advantage of gathering around and watching the DVD. The boys enjoyed it very much. It was filled with great characters and familiar nursery rhymes and songs. The CDs are loaded with great nursery rhyme songs your child will love to sing along with. Nursery rhymes help children learn to read. Research has shown that familiarity with Mother Goose and other nursery rhymes helps children develop pre-reading skills, including the ability to detect rhymes. Children who can recognize rhyming words learn to read more quickly and successfully than their peers. This relationship holds true regardless of a child’s socio-economic background or the education level of the parents.
Nursery rhymes are also short and rhythmic, which makes them easy for children to learn and memorize. As children hear, sing or read nursery rhymes, they develop “phonemic awareness” or the ability to detect the individual sounds that make up words, a crucial first step in learning to read. Nursery rhymes also introduce children to new vocabulary, which increases comprehension andbenefits learning in all subjects. Most importantly, nursery rhymes are full of colorful characters and stories, which make them fun. The delight children experience as they engage in rhyme activities fosters an enduring enthusiasm for books and reading.
