Early Literacy Skill: Phonological Awareness
For toddlers, use silly or homemade rhymes and songs so that they get used to hearing the small vowel sounds and get a taste of rhyming. For pre-school age children, have them help you sing songs and rhymes. Sing books to them so they can hear rhyming written words pronounced in song. For kindergarten children ask them for words that rhyme with other words, or cat minus ccc sound equals at (make-up a game of it).
