Rhyming is an important prerequisite reading skill. When children rhyme, they are manipulating oral language and developing phonemic awareness (awareness of sounds within language). This lays the foundation for written language/literacy development. In fact, studies show a correlation between early rhyming ability and reading preparedness.
