The wonderful thing about learning a nursery rhyme nativity script is there is an opportunity for some English education too. Kids can learn new vocabulary and literary devices such as alliteration. Print out some of the songs to improve their phonological awareness. You can work together on your child's pronunciation of the words. Singing words in a group will make kids feel less shy when they make a pronunciation error.
