Do you know what’s one of the best predictors of how well a kindergartner will learn to read?

It’s not how many worksheets he’s done.

It has nothing to do with the educational TV he’s watched or apps he’s played.

It’s if he knows his nursery rhymes.

Jack and Jill went up the hill. 

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. 

Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?

Jack Sprat would eat no fat. His wife would eat no lean.

All those nonsensical verses from your childhood really do matter.

They matter because they rhyme.

Rhyming is fun.  And it’s a very important component of reading success.

Love this big collection of rhyming games and free rhyming activities!
