Rhyming Activities 

Hearing and using rhyme, rhythm and repetition helps children develop early language and literacy skills.

​

Oral language interactions build children’s understanding of the meaning of a larger number of words, and of the world around them. This understanding is crucial to their later reading comprehension, and literacy in general. Early language skills also predict later academic achievement and success in adult life.

​

At the Clinic, students practice sights words previously learned, and learn a new word, before they read a text.
