Read rhyming picture books together! Point out words that rhyme ("Goat and boat rhyme! They sound the same at the end. Goat, boat.") Before reading, ask your child to listen for rhyming words and raise their hand when they hear them. Or, stop before you get to the rhyming word and ask your child what they think comes next! |
Share Nursery rhymes with your child! Nursery rhymes are fun to recite again and again. Once your child knows the nursery rhymes, let them fill in the rhyming words to work on Stage 2. Have you forgotten your Mother Goose? The library has lots of nursery rhyme books! |
Play "What's in the Bag?"
Once your child can successfully recognize rhymes, this activity will help them learn to produce rhymes (Stage 3). Simply fill a bag with several common household items. Pull out an item and have your child come up with a words that rhymes.
