宝宝开口读儿歌 Little Ones Recite Rhymes

This is a sweet book about a mole as he goes along his daily life,
meeting different friends
at different places
on different adventures
learning different numbers -
and introduces rhymes about all these things!

Rhymes are really important for language development!
Reading Chinese rhymes help

• improve our enunciation 咬字 over time
• train our ears 磨耳朵 to the sounds of our language
• us attune to rhyming words with similar ending sounds
• easily learn chunks of words by heart when kids are little
• hone verbal storytelling skills - to be able to retell stories without using a book

Features about this book that we love

• very bite-sized short phrases in rhymes
• with lots of rhyming words and cadences for us to enjoy
• topics are relatable to daily life
• features familiar animals and scenes
• adorable and bright illustrations set on a clean white background!
• On every page, there is a question pertaining to something on the page. This is really interesting as it encourages lots of back and forth communication between the parent reading, and the child!

Extension activities:

• While reading with my older kids, we'll take turns identifying the words that rhyme
• Further exploring of word families - words that rhyme - write out the hanyu pinyin, and make our own funny sentences using those words! The ability to analyse, classify and play with these words are important language skills!
