Hi Neetha,
Reading to your son will be the very best way to help him develop rhyming, vocabulary as well as the cadence of reading. I would recommend anything by Dr. Seuss since it's nearly all rhyming and they are fun to read. Children's poetry books like Where the Sidewalk Ends can be helpful too.
