Research shows that rhymes help children to grasp the rhythm of language and break down phrases into words and words into sounds; an important skill needed to be able to read and write. The repetitive structures used in nursery rhymes are also your child’s first introduction to early maths skills as it introduces patterns and many rhymes will often also include numbers and counting too.
Join Teacher Inger here in our “Rhyming Time” virtual space to explore the rich rhythm and rhyme of language through different stories, songs and games.
Your child can click on the various video options and a different rhyme, poem or song will play.
