Learning to identify rhyming words is a critical first step in learning to read. Sharing nursery rhymes like Jack and Jill and picture books with rhyming text like Green Eggs and Ham help children begin to identify the sounds that consonants and vowels make. As they become familiar with rhymes or rhyming books, they learn to anticipate the next rhyming word. This in turn helps them to develop another very important reading skill - prediction. So, when your read rhyming books with your child, you are laying the foundation for their future success in reading.
