Rhymes and rhyme time:

Rhyming helps children to break words down and to hear the sounds that make up words in preparation for reading and writing.

Did you know?

If children know eight nursery rhymes by the time they are four years old, they are usually among the best readers by the time they are eight!

So why not sing songs and have a rhyme time with your child every day?

Try making up your own songs and rhymes. Use rhymes with actions and props to support multi-sensory learning. Draw children's attention to rhyming words as you sing.

There are lots online you can use to help you.
