Ready, Set, Kindergarten Skills: Chattanooga Library Rhyming with Miss Erica

In this Ready, Set, Kindergarten skill-building video, Miss Erica with the Chattanooga Public Library shares a song that parents can use to work on rhyming with your rising Kindergarteners.

Learning to read begins long before children start sounding out words on a page. Rhyming helps children learn about words, sounds, and language formation and can help develop phonemic awareness. Rhyming also helps children recognize common word patterns, which can make it easier to learn to read.

For more information on why rhyming is an important skill for Kindergarten and activities to build that skill, head on over to the Language Skill Activities section of the Chattanooga 2.0 Kindergarten-Ready website. www.chatt2.org/kready
