Fun singing and action rhymes for babies and toddlers with their carers. Free, recommended for under 5s.
Through improved phonemic awareness, rhymes and singing can help children:
- distinguish between words and sounds
(Children discover many common word patterns in rhymes. The more familiar these patterns become in oral language, the more they’ll recognise them when they begin to encounter them in print)
- detect phonetic constituents (for example recognising that cat rhymes with mat)
(This is an essential skill for learning to read because it means that your child can discern the differences among individual sounds. Playing with rhymes trains their ears to hear the differences and similarities in how words sound)
- and progress in reading once they start school and encourages home reading!
