Re: TARGET: ELEM: Nursery rhymes necessary?

[jhyde <jhyde@CHRISTSCHOOL.ORG>]

Yes, you/we need to be the last barricade!   It's appalling how many
children have not been brought up on nursery rhymes.  Where else, for
one thing, are they going to develop an ear for language?  Read them,
sing them, play some of the GOOD recordings of them.  I have a terrific
album at home that has the rhymes sung and recited by Cyril Ritchard and
others.  If we give up, then what happens to civilization?
