Rhyming lets children learn about sound and have fun with words. Making your own rhymes in conversation (for example, "let's pat the cat" or "see the bee in the tree") or making a funny poem can spark your child's imagination and can be a fun way to learn.
t's surprising because experts in literacy and child development have found that if children know eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they're four years old, they're usually among the best readers by the time they're eight.
