Your child will absorb new rhymes like a sponge. By practicing rhyme your child can learn to anticipate words. Children can practice memorization through rhyme, as well as learning sizes, shapes, numbers, and concepts from rhyming patterns, for future success.
Rhyme will increase your child’s vocabulary. Writing rhyming words lets a child see that common sounding words will normally share common letters. Most words that sound alike follow similar spelling rules. Met, set, wet, get, let… You can then build on small easy words. T + OP = TOP -> S + TOP = STOP
Onomatopoeia (when a word suggests the sound it makes – BANG! CHOP! QUACK!) and alliteration (when multiple connected words use the same beginning letter – Sally sells seashells…) run rampant through poetry. Rhyme ties these together. These are fun language skills for children to learn. 
Rhyming is an often-overlooked developmental skill. Children as young as 3 years old can play rhyming games and 4 years old can already recognize rhyming words. Rhyme is a great learning tool to use in your home environment to prepare children for school.
What is rhyme? Rhyme occurs when sounds from different words are repeated. It may be entire words that rhyme, such as the word bee, which rhymes with tree, see, glee, flea, tea. Or the rhyme may be found in the final sound of a word, such as puddle that can be rhymed with: ankle, bagel, castle, marble. Poetry and stories use rhyme in endless ways to convey thoughts and ideas.
Rhyme aids in language and cognition, speech development, reading skills, creative development, and social skills. Now, time to dive deeper into the five reasons why rhyme matters. SPLASH (onomatopoeia reference)!
