Building your Toddlers vocabulary in a fun way!

A wonderful way to enhance your child's language development is with rhymes. Alliteration, word play, and rhyme tune your child's understanding of subtle differences between words and build vocabulary. They help boost auditory memory, important pre-reading skills, and develop rhythm, too. The word pictures drawn in familiar rhymes become both fascinating and familiar. Reading and singing rhymes lets your child know that words can be funny and fun as well!

There's good reason Dr. Seuss books are universal favorites. The vocabularies are simple but the rhymes are pitch-perfect. In addition to rhyming storybooks, look for books of classic nursery rhymes or books of children's poems. There's a wide variety: counting rhymes, rhymes with finger play, and those with silly tongue twisters. It's also great to sing familiar rhymes, which offers many of the same benefits. Your pitch doesn't matter in the least :)
