Rhymes train young ears for language long before reading begins. Poems for kids are fun to recite and easy to remember. Early rhyming and first word titles are found in early learning books and picture books.
Reading a poem aloud together takes only a minute or two, and children soon begin to enjoy the sound and rhythm of the words.
Reading together for even ten minutes a day builds vocabulary, attention and a close bond. Let your child choose the book whenever possible, because a child who chooses is far more likely to keep reading.
Books that suit a child's age and interest make all the difference. If a book feels too hard, read it aloud together; if it feels too easy, enjoy it anyway. Pleasure comes first.
