There's this great CD titled, "Rhymin' to the Beat", by Jack Hartmann. All of the old nursery rhymes are sang to upbeat rhythms. I have a bag of props I use with the kids that they get to use when I play the cd. (I.E. egg for Humpty Dumpty, candlestick for Jack Be Nimble, teapot for I'm a Little Teapot,etc.) They love using these props!
The great thing about the nursery rhymes is that they RHYME! Rhyming is a fun and easy way for kids to work on reading. Now your child may be only 3 years old, but they may be already rhyming. There's a definite connection between rhyming, music and reading. The more the child rhymes and plays music, the better reader they will be!
