Jacqueline E Alexander | UK based early years #teacher #researcher #author (child development & education) | Wizzy's Words | 70 Rhymes for today | Age 0 to 5+/100! | A social not-for-profit initiative based on filling the early years #bonding, #word and subsequent #learning gap WHY VARY, UPCYCLE AND USE A MIX OF #NURSERY RHYMES WITH TODAY'S #CHILDREN? WHY ADD WIZZY'S WORDS | 70 RHYMES FOR TODAY TO YOUR #BABY #TODDLER #PRESCHOOLER #EARLYYEARSFOUNDATIONSTAGE | #CHILDRENS #BOOK SHELF? Nursery rhymes promote bonding and all areas of child development. Traditional nursery rhymes are fab and many date to the 14th century | Wizzy's Words book of rhymes, with images to promote early learning, is based on #research and the oral vocabulary for success today 20+ years UK teaching experience, post graduate study, education & child development, membership of the British Psychological Association & ongoing research, led me to re-model nursery rhymes for today's infants. Rhymes suitable for children with typical & atypical language development. Today many parents sing ‘pop’ songs with their infants. This is great for developing rhythm perception that aids learning. However, research shows that nursery rhymes, with the key vocabulary for infants today, promote rhythm perception, bonding, language & child development in all domains of child development *A social enterprise and key to the door of educational and life-long success for ALL children *A book based on extensive language and child development research and universally validated data *70, illustrated rhymes for sharing with infants, to ensure their nurture & development from birth *Rhymes for promoting bonding & communication, cognitive, physical, social and emotional development *Rhymes for developing infants' knowledge and understanding of the world and phonological awareness *Rhymes with the essential vocabulary for developing #reading and #learning readiness #indoors & #outdoors EARLY LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT Sharing the language patterns in rhymes help infants to learn sounds in the order they are spoken. This prepares them for reading, understanding and writing text. The English language is not fully phonetic and relies on sound-symbol correspondence and pattern sound matching. This is why being able to recite rhymes is so important for early language learning and development. Adding actions/movements to rhymes is known to enhance the learning of sounds even further with the body and brain working in tandem. The videos and photos follow the application of this resource. See photos from a visit to a mums and toddlers group to actively share some of the rhymes from Wizzy's Words. Visit www.wizzyswords.co.uk for more information, including #free downloadable sample rhymes, full reviews, #blog and audiogram samplers. The latest audiogram (2) and accompanying video will help parents and educators to see how the role of spoken language provides the starting point for moving on to singing and acting out rhymes to promote early language development. In order that children can learn to: Hear and listen, talk and sing, think and understand, behave and read and write, children need: To be talked to and talk with adults and others To be read to by adults and others To hear and learn nursery rhymes with adults and others To learn new words with adults and others
