What does author Tony Wilson suggest doing to improve your rhyming skills?
Why do you think reading might help? Are you familiar with the books and authors Tony mentions?
Dame Lynley Dodd is the author of the Hairy Maclary books and Julia Donaldson is another successful author who uses rhyming in her books. Look them up next time you're at the library and read their books out loud. Pay special attention to the rhymes and rhythms in their stories.
