10INTRODUCTIONThe ability to read and write sets human beings apart from all other creatures! Theseabilities begin to develop very early in life as children learn the early literacy skillsneeded for reading and writing: Vocabulary, Narrative Skills, Letter Knowledge, PrintAwareness, Phonological Awareness and Print Motivation.* The State Library ofLouisiana’s Nursery Rhyme Name Songs project provides tools for adults to use withchildren ages 3 – 5 to help foster these skills with an emphasis on Letter Knowledge.A brief review of early literacy skill development clarifies the rationale for NurseryRhyme Name Songs. Babies first learn the sounds of language and gradually learn thatthese sounds combine to make words. Toddlers begin to speak short sentences usingthe words they hear. Preschoolers make major early literacy strides when they come tounderstand that the spoken word can be captured with written symbols called thealphabet. This understanding often occurs as preschoolers learn to spell their ownnames. Songs that spell out children’s names help children remember the correctsequence of letters. This project provides such songs for names with 2 – 15 letters.Nursery Rhyme Name Songs adapts the lyrics of 24 traditional nursery rhyme andchildren’s songs to help preschoolers develop Letter Knowledge as they:Begin to recognize their own names in printBegin to spell their names orallyBegin to write their namesThe project provides song sheets and a companion music CD that demonstrates how tosing each name song. The song sheets and the music CD also include lyrics for thetraditional songs used in the project so that children can learn new rhyming words(Phonological Awareness.)Illustrated printable mini books featuring the traditional songs are available for childrento color and keep. The simple illustrations help children understand the meaning of thewords used in the traditional songs (Vocabulary.) When reading a mini book with achild, adults can point to the words on the page to show that print works from left to right(Print Awareness.) Adults can also encourage children to tell the story in each minibook in their own words (Narrative Skills.) And finally, the song sheets, the CD, and themini books can be fun to use with children! Children enjoy singing the name songs oftheir siblings and friends, learning the traditional songs, and coloring the mini books(Print Motivation.)A survey of 292 pilot participants provided ideas for using Nursery Rhyme Name Songsin public libraries, early childhood classrooms, and homes. The project also includes:Early literacy writing activities; a bibliography of storybooks about names; programsuggestions; a list of songs about names; a suggested training workshop description,plan and evaluation; results of the pilot survey; and testimonials.*“Every Child Ready to Read @ your library, Parent Guide to Early Literacy for Pre-Readers.” PublicLibrary Association, Association for Library Service to Children, National Institute of Child Health &Human Development.
11HOW TO DO THIS PROJECT1. Count the number of letters in the child’s name.2. Choose a song sheet with the same number of letters; ifthere are two songs, pick one.3. Start the CD of songs on the traditional song selected forthe child’s name.4. Learn to sing the traditional song yourself by listening to it on the CD and singingthe words on the left side of the song sheet.5. Sing the traditional song to the child; invite the child to sing along.6. On the right side of the song sheet, write the letters of the child’s name in theblank spaces using a capital letter (uppercase) for the first letter only and lowercase letters for the rest of the name.7. Learn to sing the child’s name song yourself by starting the CD on the namesong, singing the words, and singing the letters for the “hums” sung on the CD.8. Sing the name song several times to the child until it becomes familiar; invite thechild to sing along.9. Write the child’s name in big print; use a capital letter (uppercase) for the first letter only and lowercase letters for the rest of the name.10. Sing the name song to the child, pointing to each letter as you sing the letternames so the child understands that each printed letter has its own name.11. Guide the child’s finger to point to each letter as you sing again slowly.12. Encourage the child to begin writing their name using a capital letter(uppercase) for the first letter only and lowercase letters for the rest of the name.
12TIPS FOR SUCCESSPraise children often and have fun with the songs!1. Think about songs you remember from your own childhood that you can changeto help a child learn their name using the kinds of words on the name songsheets.2. Songs on the CD are recorded slowly and simply to make learning the tunes andthe words easier. Feel free to “jazz up” the songs with your own style andrhythm.3. Remember to guide children to write a capital letter (uppercase) only for the firstletter in their names and to use lowercase letters for the rest of their names.4. When teaching children the traditional songs, act them out, do hand motions, orplay games that go with the songs.5. For long names, encourage children to learn just one or two letters at a time.6. For compound names, consider using a name song that has one more letter7. space than letters in the child’s name so you can teach the child to see and saythe “space” between the two words in the name.7. For names that are initials, consider using a 4-letter name song so you can teachthe child to see, say, and write the periods after each initial.8. Encourage children to color the mini book that corresponds to their name songs.9. Remember that children learn at different rates.10. Repeating the songs at different times during the day will help children learn.

16EARLY LITERACY WRITING ACTIVITIESRubbingsWhy do rubbings?Helps strengthen the muscles in little children’s fingers and hands that are usedwhen holding a pen or pencil. Weak hand muscles make it hard for children towrite later.Shows young children that we can “capture” shapes on paper and show theseshapes to others later.Children come to understand that they themselves can create representations ofobjects! This understanding is a precursor of Alphabet Knowledge, the idea thatletters represent sounds and can be written down for others to read later.Rubbings give satisfaction to children whose scribbling skills are stronger thantheir drawing skills.What do I need?Flat objects with raised ridges or texture (leaves, coins, lace, etc.)White paper (not construction paper)Crayons broken in half so children have to use their fingers in a “pincer” graspinstead of holding the crayon with their whole handHow do I do it?Place the flat object on a table or hard surfacePlace the paper over the objectDirect children to color the area of paper over the flat objectSee the shape of the object on the paper!Name PuzzlesWhy do name puzzles?They help children become familiar with the shapes and names of the lettersThey help children learn the right sequence of the letters that spell their names
17What do I need?One piece of paper to write a child’s name on so they can see the sequence oflettersSmall cards (from paper or cardboard), one for each letter in a child’s nameA pen or markerHow do I do it?Write the child’s name on the paper. Use a capital letter for the first letter onlyand lowercase (small) letters for all the rest.Write the letters of the child’s name on the cards, one letter on each card. Use acapital letter for the first letter only and lowercase (small) letters for all the rest.Ask the child to arrange the cards in the same sequence as the name written onthe paper.Dot-to-Dot Name WritingWhy do it?Helps children learn the shapes and names of the letters in their names.Helps children learn the sequence of the letters in their names.Gives children practice writing their names as they trace over the dotted letters.Helps strengthen the muscles in little children’s hands that are used whenholding a pen or pencil. Weak hand muscles make it hard for children to writelater.What do I need?Dot-to-Dot alphabet stamps (or the willingness to write the child’s name letters indots)Stamp pad (or a pen or marker to write the letters in dots)Piece of paperBroken crayon for child to trace over the dotsHow do I do it?Stamp the child’s name on paper or make letter shapes as a series of dots. Usea capital letter for the first letter only and lowercase (small) letters for all the rest.Make photocopies of the dotted name so the child can practice many times.Direct the child to trace the letters from dot to dot, starting each letter at the topand writing downward.Dot Sticker Name SignWhy do it?Helps children learn the shapes and names of the letters in their names.Helps children learn the sequence of the letters in their names.
18Helps strengthen the muscles in little children’s hands that are used whenholding a pen or pencil. Weak hand muscles make it hard for children to writelater.Makes a colorful name sign for the child to put someplace special such as abedroom wall or door.What do I need?Piece of paperPen or pencilAdhesive dots – use bigger dots ½” – ¾” for younger children and smaller dots¼” – ½” for older childrenHow do I do it?Write the child’s name on a piece of paper in letters large enough for them toplace dots.Direct the child to peel off stickers and stick them on the letters one after anotherso that all the writing is covered up with the dots.Do not help the child peel off the stickers. Each time they do it themselves, theyare using the “pincer” grasp and are strengthening the muscles in their handsand fingers that will be needed to hold a pen or pencil later.
19NAME STORYBOOKSActivities for read aloud programs:Provide nametags for children and adults. Encourage youngchildren to spell their name for you and print their name using acapital letter for the first name and lowercase letters for all the other letters. Saythe name of each letter as you write it. Allow adults and older children to writetheir own names.At the end of the program, provide materials for a craft related to names. Ask thechildren to stick or glue their nametag on their craft project and make a display ofall the projects.Encourage parents and caregivers to tell children why they were given theirparticular names.Encourage parents and caregivers to look up the meaning of their child’s nameusing Behind the Name.FOR AGES 3 - 5A My Name is Alice by Jane BayerThe well-known jump rope ditty which is built on letters of the alphabet is illustrated withanimals from all over the world.
