The Statement of the Problem
Nursery Rhymes, although popularly originated in the UK have evolved and included chants and personalized lyrics that go in the tune of a popular children song. For example: “head, shoulders, knees and toes. Knees and toes..” helps children acquire awareness of self, exercise gross motor coordination and can also be an effective tool to teach a child or even those with special needs, self-help skills on how you clean your body by parts when taking a bath.
This is just one of the many aspects of learning that Nursery Rhymes can enrich. This study will re-inspire educators not only to save the once so powerful foundation of early literacy but also prove the relevance and significant magic of Nursery Rhymes in the modern progressive education.
Thus, this paper intends to prove that adults involved in the children's early literacy use Nursery Rhymes in teaching skills other than language and reading. They may not be aware that they are doing it so that we would need to point out what; how; when and why Nursery Rhymes in early education. This paper intends to answer the following questions:
· what Nursery Rhymes are used in early education
· why, what skills do Nursery Rhymes promote when taught in early education
· how do Nursery Rhymes create activities promoting skills acquisitions other than language
· when is Nursery Rhymes used effectively in early education, which time in the day in which activity are they integrated?
These questions when answered would also support the ultimate proposition that "The Use of Nursery Rhymes is an Effective Tool in Teaching Children Acquire Skills Other Than Language and Reading."
