Use Nursery Rhymes for Kindergarten Reading Comprehension!

Getting started with reading comprehension skills in Kindergarten can be daunting. Finding age-appropriate books is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. That’s why we recommend using Nursery Rhymes!

Nursery rhymes are a good choice for beginning readers because they are short and simple, with a catchy, memorable rhythm and repetition of words. This makes them easy to remember and helps children develop their reading skills. Nursery rhymes also often introduce basic concepts and vocabulary that are useful for young children to learn. Additionally, many nursery rhymes have been passed down for generations and have a strong cultural significance, which can be enjoyable and enriching for children to learn.
