Hearing and joining in with familiar songs,
rhymes and jingles can be a
fun activity which helps children to tune into the rhythms and sounds of
a language and hear its distinctive tune. Awareness of rhyme in young
children has also been linked to progress in reading later on. Young children have an interest in the sounds of language. Several studies have been done on young children’s ‘sleep monologues’
From the time children are very young they can enjoy rhymes and songs
that have actions. Action rhymes that involve the whole body, or finger
and hands, give an extra dimension by making them more memorable and
contributing to the rhythmic quality of the experience as well as being
fun to do together.
