Students will be able to identify matching words that rhyme. Pennsylvania State Academic Standard(s): 1.3.K.D: Recognize literary devices (e.g., rhyming, alliteration). Materials and/or Equipment: Rhyming puzzle pieces Play Ball Modifications for Individual Differences: Give assistance and clues to students struggling with words that rhyme. Show students pictures along with showing words. Activities and Procedures: Anticipatory Set: Ask students what it means to rhyme, and each give an example of two words that rhyme. (Give assistance if needed) Tell students, Rhyming means having the same ending sound in a word, but not having the same beginning State: Today we will be learning about rhyming words and see if you can match some words with ones that they rhyme with Lesson Sequence: 1. Have students complete two-piece puzzle for rhyming words. Enforce that if the words do rhyme the puzzle will fit perfectly. 2. Switch puzzles between students so they can get a variety of rhyming words. 3. Play rhyming roll a. Teacher starts with ball and says a word. b. Teacher rolls the ball to a student who must say a word that rhymes with the original word. c. The student with the ball says a word. d. Then rolls the ball to a student who must say a word that rhymes with the word stated by previous student. Closure: Tell students a word and ask them to state a word that rhymes. Student Teacher Reflection: Many of the students recognized words that rhymed. One of the students had trouble verbalizing words that rhymed but with some assistance he came up with a rhyming words. All four of the students did better with saying a pair of words that rhymed after the puzzle game. Overall the lesson went really well. Cooperating Teacher Reflection: Lauren presented words that rhymed on cards to 4 students. She presented 1 word and asked each student to identify the rhyming word. Once correctly identified she rolled a ball to the next student and asked for a rhyme. Three of the students found the words easily but one student had difficulty. Lauren was successful in prompting him until he gave the correct response. The lesson was well prepared, and she presented the lesson so that the students were successful in answering. Nice job!
