Have you tried singing “Down By The Bay” by Raffi with your SPED kids? It is a fun way to familiarize them to rhyming words. Sometimes I even invite them to give me the word they would like me to find a rhyme to sing about. That is usually really challenging for me but fun for them when they get to stump the teacher. If I cannot find a rhyming word I fall back on “Did you ever have a time when you couldn’t make a rhyme down by the bay?”
