Rhyming Activities with
GC's 2022 "Teacher of the Year"
Amy Swartz, Fourth Grade Special Education Teacher at Greenfield Intermediate School shares, "Rhyming is important because it teaches children about language. Rhyming teaches word families and the sounds of language. It develops phonological awareness skills such as the ability to notice and work with the sounds. It also helps develop phonemic awareness skills. These skills lead to reading and writing development."
