These Words Rhyme

After reading a book that rhymes, I read the book and then come back to a page that have two rhyming words. We talk about the words that rhyme and then sing a song [to the tune of “Skip to My Lou”]
Small, all [or whichever two words you have noted] these words rhyme
Small, all, these words rhyme,
Small, all, these words rhyme,
Rhyme along with me.
[You can also do this with a nursery rhyme, pointing out two rhyming words.]
Aside:  Helping your children to recognize and say rhyming words helps them hear the smaller sounds in words, which develops phonological awarness.
You can sing this song using words that rhyme in a book or words that rhyme in a nursery rhyme.
