Rhyme is a great language builder for young children. Not only do they enjoy the sing song beat but they are learning about word families. Two fun and popular poems:
The Turtle
There was a little turtle who lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle and climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito. He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow and he snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito. He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow, but he didn't catch me!
The Rabbit
Hop little rabbit, hop, hop, hop!
Hop little rabbit - don't you stop!
Hop little rabbit 1, 2, 3.
Hop little rabbit just like me.
(Use two fingers of your hand to present a little rabbit.)
