NURSERY RHYMES FOR LETTER H:

Nursery rhymes are so important for little ones because rhyming is a crucial pre-reading skill. Why not teach rhyming with these funny rhymes that have stood the test of time?

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory dickory dock.

BOOKS TO READ FOR LETTER H:

Hickory-Dickory-Dock-Baker-Keith

Hickory Dickory Dock, by Keith Baker

We love this book which expands on the traditional rhyme.  As the clock strikes a new number, another animal wanders by the clock.  Be sure to sing this book to get its full effect! “Hickory, dickory, dock.  Someone nibbled the clock.  The clock struck nine — a porcupine! Hickory, dickory, dock.”

The-Little-House-Burton-Virginia-Lee

The Little House, by Virginia Lee Burton

If you’ve never read this classic book (1943), be sure to find it in your library!  Even though it’s an old story, my kids love watching the peaceful countryside transform into a bustling city.  The happy country house becomes more and more unhappy as her surroundings grow louder and dirtier.  At the end of the book the little house rejoices when her old owner moves her back to the country.
