Research Question: Rhyme in children literature and its influence on development of childhood language

Background:All human beings with functional language ability are fond of rhymes. In childhood, people may like rhyming poems and novels; grown-ups like rap music and freestyles. All of these give people phonological joys. Language development is crucial to their lives, especially early childhood. The language environment in which kids grow up determines their life-long language ability. However, adult language somehow doesn’t give kid enough stimulus to learn vocabularies. However, rhymes bring kid joys which, in term, also spur their ability of learning language.
