Rhythm and rhyme (RF6)
Developing language in French and German

Cynthia Martin

Drawing on children's instinctive love of rhymes and songs with actions, Rhythm and rhyme provides materials to support their language development in French and German, closely linked to the objectives of the National Literacy Strategy. It comprises three parts:

• Action rhymes and songs based on familiar tunes, designed for use with very young children up to the beginning of Key Stage 2;
• Fun with sounds, supported by alphabet and word-level work to reinforce skills being learnt in English;
• Focus on the written form, presenting poems and rhymes that can be used as part of shared reading in Key Stage 2.

The rhymes are supported by teacher's notes and photocopiable materials, including the written forms; visual cues; pictorial and word cards and items to cut out or colour – and many other creative activities. Contents are grouped around favourite themes of primary foreign language schemes of work.
