Rhyme with Me

To the tune of Row Your Boat:
Rhyme, rhyme, rhyme along, rhyme along with me
Small and all are rhyming words [or whatever two words you are rhyming]
Now rhyme along with me.
Aside:  Emphasizing words that rhyme helps children hear the rhyme. Being able to hear the smaller sounds in words helps develop their phonological awareness, a skill that will help them be able to sound out words when they later learn to read. 
[You can do this with two words in a rhyming book, or with rhyming words from a nursery rhyme.]
Idea from Pamela Martin-Diaz, Allen County, IN) Public Library
