January’s theme is…
RHYME TIME
When children listen to, repeat, and create rhymes, they learn to match the sounds of language. As you read or listen to music together, repeat the rhyming words and encourage your child to do the same. Take turns making up your own rhymes! Real or fake, it doesn’t matter!
In the spirit of this month’s theme, we put together this super cool list of children’s books and other resources for families!
