Ryhming books for children?

Question

My Autistic classroom loves David Kirk. We've already read all books he's published. I'm looking for some new authors that have very bright picture detail, and alot of ryhming throughout the story.

I understand Davic Kirk is famous for his work, but the other authors need not be award winning; just good writers with a nack for poetry would be nice. If you can include a tittle that would be really good.

Answer 1

Anything by Sandra Boynton! Hell, I love her books to read, and I'm an adult, they're a blast.

My twins can't put them down.. :)

Answer 2

Hi,

Dr. Suess, for certain. But when I think of rhyming, the first thing that I think of are Lemericks. I would definitely explore some of those, and there is an abundance.

I found a book, "The Hopeful Trout and Other Limericks."
(link below).

I was looking for some books, and ended up discovering some interesting information that I thought I might pass on to you. It was discussing rhyming studies done on a number of kids with learning disabilites and other kids.

Orthography shapes the perception of speech: The consistency effect in auditory recognition. "Psychonomic Bulletin & Review", 5, 683-689.] in auditory lexical decision and shadowing tasks. Words with rimes that can be spelled in two different ways (inconsistent) produced longer auditory lexical decision and shadowing times and more errors than did consistent words. A similar consistency effect was also observed on pseudowords. The observation of a general consistency effect, both for words and pseudowords, in lexical decision and in shadowing suggests a widespread influence of orthography in the children's spoken word recognition system. On exactly the same material, with adult listeners we replicated the usual pattern of an orthographic consistency effect restricted to words in lexical decision [Ventura, P., Morais, J., Pattamadilok, C., & Kolinsky, R. (2004).

Answer 3

I'm partial the The Real Mother Goose.

The Real Mother Goose is one of the first books I remember reading. It is one of the larger collections of rhymes for children. It has wonderful pen and watercolor illustrations by Blanche Fisher Wright. In 1989, The Real Mother Goose was 20th on the list of All-Time Bestselling Hardcover Children's Books, having sold 3,600,000. This book was originaly copyrighted in 1916, which now makes it in the public domain.

You can locate this book at Scholastic Books. Hope this helped!
