Rhymes - a part of Literacy


Using Poems /Rhymes taught through the year as a part of the reading program can be great fun.

Materials/Preparation: highlighters, multiple copies of rhyming poems that you have read during shared reading time, a small basket.

Skill Practiced: Chunking to use information from a known word to form a new and unknown word.

What The Children Do:


  1. Read a copy of the poem.

  2. Highlight all the words that sound the same .

  3. Practice writing the new words alongside the known word.

  4. Run fingers over the words to learn the word formation.

  5. Read together ...Write together.

  6. Build new rhymes using the words learnt ( teacher help will be required)
