Rhyme Time!

Rhyming is fun! Young students are easily engaged in songs, rhyming texts and word play, making these a great way to foster rich oral language development. It is essential that teachers enable their students to build strong speaking and listening skills in the early years of school. Students need to be able to speak clearly and capably to become good readers and writers, and they need to be able to hear sounds and rhymes to become good spellers. Rhyming is essential and comes under phonological awareness. The first lesson shows you how to explain what rhyming is and how to build rhyming songs into your everyday routines. The other lessons can be taught sequentially or separately or used for ideas, depending on the books that are available to you. Rhyming time is sure to be as much fun for you as your students!
