In this study it will be addressed some matters concerning children's phonological development, focusing on the development of rhyming ability for the children. Speech means pure and clearly pronunciation. For linguistic development assistance of children it is need rhyming dictionaries. They help children as to the exact pronunciation spoken words by data phonemes related their composition, as well as to encourage them to recognize new close words, but not the same with them for the pronunciation. This method helps correct pronunciation on the one hand, while on the other hand promotes vocabulary enrichment. These dictionaries play a positive role in creative writing to the children. In the tradition of English are known dictionaries: Oxford Junior Rhyming Dictionary (2005, 2009) prepared by John Foster (Oxford University Press), Barron's Junior Rhyming Dictionary (2006) etc. Today, some of them are as in the print format, some in the electronic and on-line, which helps in linking technology in teaching with other methods. The first dictionary of this type, published in Albanian language is “Fjalori rimor i Dritëro Agollit “(Rhyming Dictionary of Dritëro Agolli) of the linguist Mina Gero, (Editions Toena, Tirana, 2013), while another wellknown researcher Kolë Ashta have developed another one in manuscript, but it still not published. While the first Albanian language dictionary published in the electronic version is the “Fjalori i gjuhës shqipeâ€- "Dictionary of the Albanian Language" (Tirana, 2006), publication of the Institute of Linguistics and Literature with about 48,000 words. In children's research area, it’s still a completely unexplored study field for researchers of Albanian linguistic. In Albanian Language, absent such a tradition and also have not children rhyming dictionary. Also, this paper will make some proposals about the work that needs to be done for developing these dictionaries even in Albanian language. At the end some recommendations will be given for the methodology and the multimedia technologies in order to be used and to be followed by teachers in developing rhyming abilities of children.
