Some of my favorite memories as a child, and a parent, are reading Mother Goose. My aunts and Mom used such expression as they read and sometimes explained the meaning behind the story. As a Mom, to have my kiddo snuggle in and listen to a classic was a priceless quiet time. Do you have similar memories?
I love my job as an educator yet as I see the curriculum and standards change, Mother Goose and the classics I enjoyed as a child and shared with my daughter become a read aloud of the past. Let me encourage you to visit your local bookstore and library and read Mother Goose to your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and students. These classics offer more than a wealth of lessons, they are entertaining and help our kiddos learn to read and love reading too.
