Rhyme Time--Ocean Theme

Rhyming is an important skill that supports literacy.  It shows that a child can break a word into two parts--the beginning sound and the remainder of the word, and then recognize when another word ends the same way.  It helps with understanding word families (groups of words that end the same way such as ball, mall, tall, call)...and when a child can group words together in this way, it makes spelling and reading that much easier.
