mom2jjka Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 My Dd can't rhyme. She just doesn't seem to hear it at all. Could this be related to her apraxia? Is there any way to teach rhyming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandamom Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yes, this is probably because of the Apraxia. In order to teach rhyming you'll want to make sure that she has a strong phonemic awareness and using a program that fosters phonemic awareness is important. Reading Reflex is one such program and there are several others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 First, how old is dd? Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2jjka Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 She's 6. She has a diagnosis of apraxia, and her neurologist also suspects either mild CP or mild Rett syndrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Personally, I would not really worry about it. My dd could never rhyme either. She is learning to read with the I See Sam books from http://www.sitespace.org.uk/. You can see the first 2 sets for free at http://www.teacherweb.com/CA/PomeloDriveElementary/Mrssakamoto/printap2.stm We have apraxia, mild CP, cognitive impairments, etc. here as well.
