Rhyming skills development in children aged 7-9 plays a crucial role in their overall language learning and literacy foundation. Rhyming enhances phonemic awareness, which is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words. This is fundamental as phonemic awareness is a strong predictor of a child's ability to read and spell. When children understand rhymes, it helps them recognize patterns in language, which is essential for decoding new words during reading.

Moreover, rhyming fosters auditory discrimination skills, enabling children to distinguish between different sounds. This also aids in successful listening and verbal communication. Engaging with rhymes can make learning more enjoyable and boost memory retention; children are more likely to remember strings of words that rhyme due to the rhythmic and melodic qualities of rhyming language.

In addition, social interaction improves as children share rhymes and poems with peers, enhancing communication and social skills. Rhyming activities encourage creativity and help children feel more confident in playing with language and sounds. Therefore, teachers and parents should integrate formal and informal rhyming exercises into daily routines to support a child's literacy development, as this skill is foundational for their ongoing educational journey.
