What the chapters cover in the national curriculum in England:
Rhyme and Rhythm is an interactive game that teaches children aged 5–7 to hear rhyming words, clap the beat of a rhyme, join in with repeating words in stories and poems, and learn a nursery rhyme by heart. It follows the Year 1 English national curriculum for England.
Guided by Poppy the parrot, children find out that rhyming words sound the same at the end, not the start, so cat rhymes with hat but not with cup. They tap a drum to a steady beat and clap the beats in words such as but-ter-fly. They spot predictable phrases, the words that come again and again, and say them aloud.
To learn Humpty Dumpty or Twinkle, Twinkle by heart, they listen, echo it a line at a time, fill in hidden rhyming words, put muddled lines in order and then perform it on stage.
A rhyming word sounds the same at the end as another word, like cat, hat and bat. The start can be different. Words that only start the same, such as cat and cup, do not rhyme.
Predictable phrases are words that come again and again in a story or poem, like 'Run, run, as fast as you can!' in The Gingerbread Man. Because children can guess them, they can join in, which builds confidence and enjoyment in reading.
Say it together one line at a time, like a parrot, and repeat it often. Then hide some words, especially the rhyming ones, and let your child fill them in until they can say the whole poem without help.
It is made for children aged 5 to 7 and matches the Year 1 English national curriculum in England. Narration reads every line aloud, so children who are still learning to read can play on their own.
There are five chapters on rhyme, beat, repeating words, joining in with a story and learning a rhyme by heart, plus a 10-question Rhyme Time Show. Playing everything takes about 45 minutes, and chapters can be played separately.
