ASSIGNMENT 3: Promoting a reading culture in a classroom.
This assignment is based on Units 5 and 6 in Tutorial Letter 501. It is important that
you work through these two units (as well as pages 129–156 and 177–198 of the
prescribed textbook, Introducing Children’s Literature: A Guide to the South African
Classroom (2017) by Evans, et al.) before you attempt this assignment. Answer the
questions below in full sentences.
Question 1
1.1 In your own words, define rhyme.
Rhyme is a poetic device where words have similar sounds at the end of lines or
phrases. This similarity creates a pleasing effect and can enhance the rhythm and flow
of poetry or song lyrics. Rhymes can happen between single words or within longer
phrases, and they often serve to unify a piece of writing or emphasize certain ideas or
emotions.
1.2 In your own words, explain the difference between end rhyme and
internal rhyme.
According to my understanding, end rhyme is when the last words of two or
more lines in a poem sound the same, like "cat" and "bat".
Internal rhyme is when words inside a line or sentence rhyme with each other,
like "The cat in the hat sat on the mat." where "cat" and "hat" rhyme, and "hat"
and "mat" rhyme too.
1.3 Nursery rhymes and poetry, according to Tut 501, are useful tools in assisting
young learners acquire basic language and mathematical skills. Write a short
paragraph in which you explain how this is achieved.
Nursery rhymes and poetry play a crucial role in helping young learners acquire basic
language and mathematical skills. Through the rhythmic and repetitive nature of nursery
rhymes, children are exposed to a wide range of vocabulary and sentence structures in
a fun and engaging way. The catchy tunes and memorable rhymes make it easier for
children to remember words and phrases, aiding in language acquisition. Also, nursery

rhymes often contain elements of counting and sequencing, which can help children
develop early mathematical concepts such as number recognition, counting, and
patterns. Using nursery rhymes and poetry into early education, educators provide
children with a playful and effective means of building language and mathematical skills
essential for their future learning and development.
1.4 Poems are made up of several poetic elements such as the rhythm. In your
own words, define rhythm and explain how it is important when teaching poetry
to Foundation Phase learners.
Rhythm in poetry refers to the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables that creates
a musical flow within the verse. It's like the heartbeat of the poem, dictating its pace and
tone. When teaching poetry to Foundation Phase learners, rhythm is crucial because it
helps children understand the natural cadence and musicality of language. Recognizing
rhythm, learners can better appreciate the sound and structure of poetry, enhancing
their reading fluency and comprehension. Also, rhythm adds an element of fun and
engagement to poetry lessons, making it easier for young learners to connect with the
text and express themselves creatively. Through activities like clapping, chanting, or
even dancing to the rhythm of poems, educators can create a dynamic and immersive
learning environment that fosters a love for language and literature from an early age.
