Mother goose is a great poetry book for very young children. It helps model fluency and prosody before babies can even talk. It also creates a fun rhythm that they can follow along with and memorize. It helps with their speech development. These book can be fun and beneficial for all ages.
We visited the Galleria dell‘Accademia today to see David. Very impressive! But you all know what he looks like, so I present to you instead a goose with books. (There was no plaque for this little sculpture, so I can‘t give the official name. The artist is Lorenzo Bartolini)
so-soAt least half of these make no sense at all and aren‘t even that wordplay-like. But it was cool to read the ones that have become common sayings. And some have a darker side that I didn‘t know about…
Turns out the Real Mother Goose is dark! Chopped off tails? Piggies can‘t find their way home? Sheesh…

4. Mother Goose- rhyming!
pickThis piece of traditional literature (TL) has a multitude of rhymes throughout with some older looking illustrations. (It was copyrighted in 1944) Some of the rhymes include Little Bo-Peep, Pat-a-Cake, and Humpty Dumpty. It would be fun to use this as a partner read as the students could read the rhymes to each other. It would be interesting to see which ones they actually know since most of these are before my time! #UCFLAE3414SP18
