Developing a child's phonological awareness is an important part of developing a reader. Young children's ability to identify rhymes is an important component of phonological awareness. Research shows that students benefit from direct instruction on rhyme recognition paired with fun activities that target this skill.
Rhyme is found in poetry, songs, and many children's books and games. Most children also love to sing and recite nursery rhymes. Words that can be grouped together by a common sound, for example the "-at" family — cat, hat, and sat — can be used to teach children about similar spellings. Children can use these rhyme families when learning to read and spell.
Any rhyming activities you do at home will help you child develop phonological awareness, which is an important building block to reading skills. I've attached links to some rhyming games you can play together at home.
