Rhythm, rhyme and learning to read

Singing, dancing and making music together is fun, but also helps your child to master skills that are the very beginning of learning to read and write.

At home rhyme time

Nursery rhymes – some parents love them, and some don’t... but babies, toddlers and even older children often find them irresistible making a rhyme time-type group an ideal way to fill long days together. Over the summer lots of these groups will have paused, so we’ve been sharing ways to create your own mini-versions at home.  

This week it is all about rhymes and songs, with ideas for all ages which can be done one-on-one with your little one or with a group of friends.

Before you start, decide where you will do your story time group and make sure the space is comfortable and fairly quiet.
