Early Years - Rhyme

Research shows that early knowledge of Nursery Rhymes is strongly related to the development of reading abilities.

The early stages of teaching phonics includes teaching children rhymes and songs.

"For reading and spelling, children need to be able to recognise when two words rhyme and produce a rhyming string of words." (NLS 1999)

Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
