Here are some of the books and nursery rhymes that we have read so far this school year. It is always encouraged to re-read these books and recite the rhymes at home. Kindergarteners love to be read to and to read on their own. We talk about the three ways to read a book: Read the words, Read the pictures, Retell the story. Try these ways with your reader at home.
