Dr. Seuss Rhymes
Dr. Seuss is well known for his rhyming stories and the rhythm created as they are read. March 2nd is his birthday, and it is celebrated every year by children and adults alike in many different ways. Use the day’s celebration to help your little gain some practice making rhymes of her own.
Gather several Dr. Seuss books from your own collection or from the library. Many of his stories are rather lengthy so read only a few pages before trying out the following activity.
After drawing in your child’s attention, point out how many of the words sound very similar. Read a set of lines that contains a rhyme and say the rhyming words together, such as “fish” and “dish”. See if your child can name another word that rhymes with the two rhyming words.
Next, read the next rhyming section of the story. However, this time, leave off the last rhyming word and ask your child to fill in the blank. Continue doing this at random points throughout the story. If your child is interested, ask her to name additional words that rhyme with the pair of words in the story.
