Description
This title features over 70 highly practical activities using number rhyme and nursery rhyme for early years practitioners to use with little or no preparation. Containing over 70 tried-and-tested activities, "Activities for Individual Learning through Rhyme" is a practical resource which takes a cross-curricular thematic approach and uses the themes of number rhymes and nursery rhymes to explore the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This thematic approach saves preparation and teaching time for practitioners and provides children with more effective and engaging activities. It also familiarises children with the more sophisticated cross-curricular projects they will encounter in the primary school. Activities are clustered around particular number rhymes and nursery rhymes and each set of activities is clearly linked to the EYFS goals. "Activities for Individual Learning through Rhyme" is a highly practical invaluable resource book for all early years practitioners.
