Rhymes 'n Rhythms
A reproducible teachers' resource of 32 Rhymes
by: Lisa Tenuta
Levels: Beginner to Intermediate. Middle School to Adult.
Rhymes 'n Rhythms includes 32 new and original rhythmic rhymes for reading and saying aloud in the classroom. The rhymes progress from shorter and easier rhymes that focus on questions, places, and time, to longer more lexically challenging topics such as color, clothing, the body, occupations and food.
Pronunciation skills. These Rhymes 'n Rhythms can be used to reinforce vowel sounds. The very regular and rhythmic lines are excellent for working on stress, intonation, reduction, linking and assimilation of individual English sounds.
Most importantly, these rhymes are enjoyable! They are light, catchy and playful. Three actors on the tape bring out the natural rhythms and humor of the verses.
In the text are teaching suggestions and language notes for each rhyme to encourage the teacher to go beyond simple choral work.

1. Subject: Great book!
Dear Pro Lingua folks,
I have a ton of catching up to do from being at the NJTESOL conference this week, but I've been noodling around instead, enjoying Rhymes and Rhythms. What a fun book! I've never been a big Jazz Chants fan, but this stuff I like. I got inspired to rewrite the Questions, Questions poem for a work site class I'm teaching. All of the students are married and have kids, all live in houses and many of them like to garden. They've been having trouble with do and does questions so after we play around with the rhyming, I think I'll have them find the verbs and then tease out that "be" verbs don't use do and does.
QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS
How do you do? And how are you?
I speak English. And do you?
Where are you from? What's your name?
Do you want to play the question game?
What do you like? Do you like books?
Do you like to sing? Do you like to cook?
Do you like fruit juice, coffee or tea?
Do you like to bicycle, swim, or ski?
Do you have children and a spouse?
Do you have pets? Do you live in a house?
Are there sunny rooms and stairs to climb?
Is your house quiet in the daytime?
Do you have a garden? What do you grow?
Is there a lawn with grass to mow?
Are there trees and flowers, too?
Do you have neighbors and a pretty view?
What do you think of the question game?
"Do" and "be" questions are not the same!
Adapted from: "Questions, Questions," in: Tenuta, L. Rhymes and Rhythms. ProLingua Associates,

Thanks for the idea! Now back to those piles, lesson plans, etc.

2. Subject: You've ruined me...
Hi Andy,
OK, you guys have totally ruined me :>). I've been noodling around with poems ever since I opened the Rhymes book. Tough on getting work done, but a lot of fun. The poem I sent you earlier was a huge success. First I went over vocabulary and I said it for them. Then I had them say it to the beat several times. I was surprised by how much they liked it. Then I had them pick the questions that they wanted to answer and had them write responses. They want more!
So here's the latest installment, with a list of rhyming words from a rhyming dictionary I have. I'm planning to have them try writing a few verses next week. Thanks again for a great book!
