I was wondering if anyone has some tips on helping students rhyme. Exposure to nursery rhymes, poetry, and music where rhymes are apparent. The more he/she hears rhymes in patterns, the better are the chances that he/she will recognize the rhyming sounds. I think perhaps one reason why kids today have more trouble with rhyming is because parents are not exposing children to the nursery rhymes and simple poems and songs that parents once shared regularly with their kids. Although now there is Dora and Blue's Clues which offer other good skills, rhyming is not as apparent. Chances are this child you are working with is not just going to "get it" right away though if she/he hasn't been exposed to rhyming patterns in nursery rhymes, songs and poems before. I say, SING often, read nursery rhymes, and share simple poetry as often as possible. Kristin Kristin Gristina Language Arts Coordinator Livingston Park Elementary School
