Rhyming is an important early literacy skill and an engaging, playful concept that can be introduced to kids early and often. Rhyme play is a fun and easy way to introduce the concept of rhyming to young minds. This type of play directs children’s attention to the sound-structure of words and increases awareness that language has meaning and form.

We all want to feel good about what our kids are watching and how much they are consuming—to “choose better,” as it’s been put before. But what does “better” screen time actually look like? Better screen time starts here.
