Rhyme Time

We have a book called Cleo the Cat. It is one of 'Theo's Favourites' - according to Jack. We always make note of the fact that Theo rhymes with Cleo. As a result, Jack has really gotten into rhyming - or more accurately, trying to rhyme. We have explained rhyming as two words that sound alike, or have similar sounds. I think our definition of being similar may have made things more difficult for Jack. Here are some of the rhymes he has come up with in the last week:

Monday and Tuesday - they are similar
Fish and Whale - they are similar
Jack and Theo - they are brothers

Then we had a breakthrough... He woke up and the first thing he said was 'Backpack rhymes with me'. I applauded him and corrected him at the same time telling him yes, backpack rhymes with Jack not Me.

Then we went back to our old pattern.

Wednesday and Friday - they are similar
Table and Chair - they are similar

Then another good one today - He asked me what I was making and I said Jello Salad. He then came back a couple of minutes later and told me that Jello and Hello rhyme. Yeah!!! We are slowly getting there.

I love the fact that he is trying. It beats lying! :)
