Rhymes and rhythm help enhance children's learning abilities in several ways. Rhymes help children recognize patterns more quickly, which can make learning to read easier. Familiarity with rhymes also helps children learn phonetic constituents of words and similar spellings that make similar sounds. Rhymes promote enjoyment of stories and introduce imagination. They provide opportunities for parents and children to bond through singing together and teach life lessons through their messages.
