To market, to market to buy a fat pig,
Home again, home again jigity jig...
While you may not be going to market to buy a fat pig you can use your time running errands to help your child build prereading skills. Use your time in the car to say this poem but change the words to fit your errands:
To Target, to Target to buy a new towel,
Home again Home again, then we will howl!
Ok, so it may not make a lot of sense but that's OK
Your child will increase their phonological awareness even if your rhymes don't make sense, use real words or have correct grammar. They will delight in the rhythm and silliness and the rhyming and be learning at the same time.
