Music and Rhymes for Language Development

Have you ever wondered why you wake up with a song you are playing in your head? Or why it is too easy to recall a song lyric that you simply read?

This is because we are wired to acquire language through listening. And rhymes are simply repetitive.
Nothing beats building new neural connections in the brain by evoking emotion and listening to a catchy rhyme on repeat.

These rhymes are not only entertaining but teach pronunciation, grammar, increase vocabulary, and even culture in most instances. These rhymes stick with you long-term.

So if you are in the market to teach your child a new language. There is no better way to introduce them to their beloved rhymes in a target language.

They help your child listen and learn the rhyme in the target language and allows them to connect to the language in a deeper
manner. Rhymes are a whole-body experience that involves a lot of action words.

The more senses are involved, the more strong neural connections the child develops and the stickier the language becomes.
