Nursery Rhyme, Rhythm and Narrative Thinking in Early Childhood Education

Summary/Abstract: The contribution focuses on the effectiveness of nursery rhymes, music, and storytelling in early childhood education. Various research studies carried out over the past twenty years have demonstrated the way in which the use of rhythm, music, and storytelling can facilitate the development of a child’s overall personality. This study examines the impact of incorporating silent books into early childhood educa- tion to enhance a child’s language skills, social interaction, and cogni- tive development. Over the course of one month, teachers assessed the progress of young children in various domains, including vocabu- lary acquisition, narrative fluency, and peer interaction. The results highlight the importance of providing diverse opportunities for play with stories, images, and music in supporting holistic development in young children. By integrating these rich experiences into early edu- cation practices, educators can effectively nurture linguistic, social, and emotional competencies, laying a solid foundation for lifelong learning and growth.
