The most enjoyable way of teaching your children rhyming, a prerequisite of reading, is to sing, move around and dance together on the gentle tunes of pre-primary rhymes. The soothing melodies of pre-primary rhymes are funny, familiar and, at times, unusual. Rejoice and Grow – Rhymes to Sing Along comprises of three books, each containing carefully chosen, beautifully illustrated rhymes. The rhymes are arranged alphabetically and cover the following themes:
• Good Manners
• Healthy and Safe Habits
• Our Animal Friends
• Family and Friends
• School
• Weather
• Community Helpers
When your child knows a rhyme well, sing that rhyme to him or her with one mistake. You will be surprised to see how quickly the child will catch the mistake. Don’t stop at just singing the rhymes, clap them out; dance on them; act them out!
