English rhymes in use

In this work we developed a method of teaching English to children of preschool and early school-age by teaching Rhymes(tongue,twisters,poems)are studied in British nurseries, too, so children develop theirpronunciationat an early age, this technique is effectiveby the factthatstudyingthese will help them in the future, in the high school.Rhyme is an interesting part of language which can be used in a variety of different ways. Often, it is used in poetry to make a point. However, one can also make a catchy slogan by using humorous words to create a message. Rhyme is an essential part of the English language and we use it all the time, whether we are consciously aware of it or not. What is rhyme? That is a very good question, and in this guide, we will provide an in-depth analysis of Rhyme and its purposes.

British childrenare taught since childhoodwhilein our countrytheyare studyingeitherat schoolorin higher education students, so I suggest to implement it in the nurseries, and early age schools, thuschildren will havean idea of theEnglish language and culture, because rhymes includes includes the history culture ofthe British people, for example ,the most popular English rhyme is Humpty Dumpty.

He was in fact believed to be a large cannon!  It was used during the English Civil War ( 1642 - 1649) in the Siege of Colchester (13 Jun 1648 - 27 Aug 1648). Colchester was strongly fortified by the Royalists and was laid to siege by the Parliamentarians (Roundheads). In 1648 the town of Colchester  was a walled town with a castle and several churches and was protected by the city wall. Standing immediately adjacent the city wall, was St Mary's Church. A huge cannon, colloquially called Humpty Dumpty, was strategically placed on the wall next to St Mary's Church. The historical events detailing the siege of Colchester are well documented - references to the cannon ( Humpty Dumpty) are as follows:June 15th 1648 - St Mary's Church is fortified and a large cannon is placed on the roof which was fired by ‘One-Eyed Jack Thompson'

July 14th / July 15th 1648 - The Royalist fort within the walls at St Mary's church is blown to pieces and their main cannon battery ( Humpty Dumpty) is destroyed. So our children can quite introduce with English history and culture. It will be very helpful in the future to study it.

And every rhyme have its own history.Thathelps developa child'sview ofBritain.By learning by heart they can improve their English and of course pronunciation.English sessions are fun and interesting, concentrating on concepts children have already understood in their home language. In this way children are not learning two things, a new concept as well as new language, but merely learning the English to talk about something they already know.

Activities are backed up by specific objects, where possible, asthishelpsunderstandingandincreasesgeneralinterest.Theyfindouthowlanguageworksandbecomefamiliarwiththerelationshipbetweenthe 44 sounds of English and the 26 alphabet letters – information which helps them when they begin reading to decode the sounds that make up words. The value of this type of language-play with rhymes in early learning is both underestimated and undervalued.

Rhymes, in general, are short and depend on the melodic use of the voice to recite the text that includes rhyming words, and the repetition of sounds and words in attractive, easy-to-copy rhythms. And the most rhymes was put on music, so children can sing it, and its perfect thing to play, especially in the nurseries, they are not boring and needn’t more attention to listen, its short and playful.

Young children find it more difficult to pick up English if they are not provided with the right type of experiences, accompanied by adult support using ‘parentese’ techniques. And I wrote in my job about parents support , how to learn new rhyme, how to understand it, its not so difficult as it seems. Also parents can say a rhyme with the child. And family members it is a good idea to learn rhymes already known to family members as it extends sharing and also motivates children to join in.

Children’s developing interests and gender needs – many children enjoy the physical action in:

Jeremiah, blow the fire,
Puff, puff, puff.
First you blow it gently...
Then you blow it rough.

Rhymes are portable playthings. Parents and children can say them at any time or in any place to change a mood or fill a bored moment with fun. Rhymes need no toy, equipment or even a book to set a scene; they depend on the sound of the voice reciting the language to stimulate play. Some may be accompanied by physical actions, which help to confirm understanding and act as an aid to memorisation.You can play and show to child the parts of the teapot. They can play in pairs, its also helpful for child to play with parents at home too.

Work with your mistakes and it will give a new experience to learn another rhymes.Children should not be told they have made a mistake because any correction immediately demotivates. Mistakes may be part of the process of working out grammar rules of English or they may be a fault in pronunciation. ‘I goed’ soon becomes ‘went’ if the child hears the adult repeat back ‘yes, you went’; or if the adult hears ‘zee bus’ and repeats ‘the bus’. As in learning their home language, if children have an opportunity to hear the adult repeat the same piece of language correctly, they will self-correct in their own time.
