Participants will learn how to build children’s early literacy skills using rhyme, rhythm and song. Children love to sing, chant and play with words – help keep this delightful (and literacy-rich) pastime alive! We will discuss and share favorite songs, finger plays, children’s poems, jump-rope rhymes and rhyming and repeating books. We will talk about ways to incorporate fun word-play activities into everyday routines. You are encouraged to bring or share a favorite song, finger-play or book.
