M'alt Ese Children's Rhymes and Poet Ry
M'ALT ESE CHILDREN'S RHYMES AND POET RY by J. CASSAR PULLICINO The songs and ditties falling under the heading 'Children's Rhymes' immediately conjure up recollections of our earliest exist ence and childhood activities, of games and emotions long since forgotten. I have used the wider term 'Children's Rhymes', and not 'Nursery Rhyme s' on purpose, for apart fron: those verses which are traditionally passed on by adults to a child while it is still of nurse ry age, there is another kind of verse lore passing between children beyond the age of six when out of sight of their parents or at play that in a very real sense also belongs to children. Let us make this distinction clear. In defining the scope of their encyclopaedic work on Nursery Rhymes, Iona and Peter Opie write as follows: 'As well as the nonsense jingles, humorous songs and character rhymes, it includes the more common lullabies, infant amusements, nursery counting-out formulas, baby puzzles and rid dles, rhyming alphabets, tongue twisters, nursery prayers and a few singing games the words of which have an independent existence in the nursery ... ,1 Extending their field of study beyond the nursery the same writers stress that 'the scraps of lore which children learn from each other are at once more real, more immediately serviceable, and more vastly entertaining to them than anything which they learn from grown-ups'. More importantly, the se well known authorities on the subject state: 'Such a verse ... can be as traditional and as well known to children as a nursery rhyme; yet no one would mis take it for one of Mother Goose's compositions.

Language Development and Emergent Literacy
Introduction to Language Development and Mobile Infants Emergent Literacy Domains (8 to 18 months) for Mobile Infants Domain Components L1. Receptive Language L2. Expressive Language L3. Communication Skills L4. English Language Development for Dual Language Learners EL1. Engagement in literacy experiences and understanding of books and stories EL2. Phonological awareness EL3. Knowledge and use of books, print and letters ______________________________________________________________________ Here are some important things to know about young infants and their language development and emergent literacy: They use gestures to communicate their needs and wants. For example, they point, pull on a skirt or pants’ leg, and shake their head “No.” They can learn simple sign language for words such as “more”, “eat”, and “drink” They understand more words than they can say. They can follow simple directions such as “Bring me the ball,” or “Show me your belly button, please.” They create long, babbled sentences, then begin to repeat familiar words they hear. They recognize names for many familiar objects such as ball, doggy and keys. They use single-word expressions such as “doggy,” “bye-bye,” and “oh-oh,” then begin to use two-word sentences such as “More milk,” “Where Mommy?” or “Daddy go.” They may say seven to twenty words that adults can understand. This usually occurs between 12 to 18 months. They actively participate in book reading experiences by pointing to pictures, sometimes naming what they see in the pictures, and turning pages. They join in rhyming activities such as songs and nursery rhymes, and in games. By knowing these special things about mobile infants, families and caregivers can better understand how to support their language development and emergent literacy experiences.

Babies As Ancestors, Babies As Spirits
Babiesas ancestors, Babiesas spirits The Culture of Infancy in West Africa by alma gottlieb tlieb Alma Got www.museum.upenn.edu/expedition 13 A Beng village. e Holland (map) v Philip Graham (top), Ste 14 volume 46, number 3 expedition OLD SOULS ne day i was sitting in the shaded compound of a Beng village in the West African rain forest, playing “This Little Piggy” with the toes of six-month-old Amwe. As the last little piggy went home, I laughed aloud at myself. The baby could not possibly understand the words of the nursery rhyme, all the more because they were in English. To my amaze- ment, Amwe’s mother, my friend Amenan, objected strongly to my remark, which she took Oas an insult to her daughter. Amenan herself understood not a word of English—although she spoke six lan- guages. Nevertheless, Amenan insisted that Amwe understood my ditty perfectly well. Curious but somewhat skeptical, I asked,“You think so?”Amenan invoked the afterlife. Unlike life in this world, she pointed out, in the Beng afterlife—called wrugbe—all peoples of the world live harmoniously and are fluent in all languages. But how did this result in her infant daughter’s purported ability to understand “This Little Piggy” in English? Patiently, Amenan explained: Babies are reincarnations of ancestors, and they have just come from wrugbe. Having just lived elsewhere, they remember much from that other world—including the many languages spo- ken by its residents. How can a baby be accorded full linguistic comprehension afterlife, from which they exit only gradually.
