Rhyming is a fundamental aspect of phonological awareness and plays a crucial role in early language development. This paper explores the significance of rhyming in fostering phonological skills among young learners. It delves into the cognitive processes involved in rhyming and its impact on literacy acquisition. Through a review of relevant literature and empirical studies, this paper elucidates the benefits of integrating rhyming activities into early childhood education curriculum. Furthermore, it discusses practical strategies for educators and parents to enhance rhyming proficiency in children, thereby facilitating robust language development and literacy skills. Understanding the importance of rhyming in phonological awareness can inform effective instructional approaches and interventions to support language development in early childhood settings.
