Last week, I briefly touched on the importance of including rhyming in your interactions with children, whether in conversation or reading aloud. Phonological awareness is a key skill necessary to learn how to read, and the stronger a child's sense of rhyme before they begin to learn to read, the better!
Here are 5 excellent picture books with great rhymes in them:
- Where is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fox
- Rhyming Dust Bunnies by Jan Thomas
- Vegetables in Underwear by Jared Chapman
- I Took the Moon for a Walk by Carolyn Curtis
- Tiptoe Joe by Ginger Foglesong Gibson
