Songs and Rhymes<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
Rhyme is found in poetry, songs, many children’s books and children’s games. Studies have demonstrated that the better children are at detecting rhymes the quicker and more successful they will be at learning to read. We recognise the importance of rhyme and regularly sing nursery rhymes, read rhyming books and play rhyming games. If you would like some ideas to continue this at home here are some suggestions of rhyming activities you can do. Please share any successful activities with us, we would love to know what you have been having fun with.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
\u201cExperts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they\u2019re four years old, they\u2019re usually among the best readers by the time they\u2019re eight.\u201d <\/em>[Fox, M.
