Research has shown a direct correlation between rhyme and phonemic awareness achievement, which is the basic building block of all language. So without question, reading with rhyme helps to lay important groundwork for a child's success in oral language, reading and writing. When a child says and uses a word that fits into the scheme of the rhyme, they are propagating their skill of prediction. There is nothing like reading a story rhyme and having your child joyfully yell out the final rhyming word before you can say it. Rhyme also promotes and nurtures higher level thinking skills, such as predicting what comes next in a story, as well as developmental judgment and decision making skills. Reading in rhyme lets your child experience the rhythm of language. It promotes reading and speaking with expression and animated voices, as it provides a sense of security and confidence through its rhythm and predictability. The bright colorful images combined with the rhyming text are a winning combination that will capture and hold your child's interest.
