Sing or say some of these rhymes to your infant each day. From the time he is quite small, he will show that he recognises and enjoys the familiar patterns of sound and rhythm. Add simple actions that he will learn to anticipate.

Their grammar might be incorrect or they might have difficulty speaking in complex sentences. Then they can find that telling well-structured stories is as well hard. Obtaining their message across to people who don't know them nicely can be difficult.

Kids require endless opportunities to practise language with you. They require to hear lots of words and sentences and they need to hear the exact same ones repeated many times.
They also require to understand rhyme, so that they can sort and shop words in their brain and to manipulate sounds in a way that will help them to learn to read later. Of course, Nursery Rhymes are full of rhymes and plays on words, as nicely as a great range of vocabulary and endless variations of sentence structure. And toddlers love the silliness.
