‘Jack and Jill’ nursery rhyme printable. Sharing nursery rhymes with your child is a great way to reinforce rhyming and rhythm as well as introduce new vocabulary.  When learning nursery rhymes, your child will be introduced to characters and stories he/she will encounter again and again.  After reading a nursery rhyme, ask a beginning reader to circle the rhyming words and/or underline all the words that begin with a certain letter.  On page 2 of the PDF, a beginning reader can cut out the (rhyming) words and glue them in the right places.  Pages 3 and 4 provide an opportunity for your child to cut out the lines of the rhyme and glue them, in order, to page 3. Your child may enjoy creating his or her very own book to ‘read.’
