Rhyming Practice KS1 Lesson plan

Outcomes Children are confident in identifying and thinking of rhyming words. They understand that different phonemes can be represented using different graphemes.

Introduction Read through Room on the Broom together, identifying some of the rhyming pairs on each page. Draw children’s attention to the different spellings of specific sounds for example hat/plait, on/gone.

Use Resource Sheet 1: Rhyme Cube to create a dice with words on. Throw the Rhyme Cube and show children which word it lands on. Together, write a list of all the rhyming words you can think of as a class. This is a good opportunity to talk about strategies for finding rhyming words such as going through the alphabet substituting a different first letter each time. Invite children to have a go at writing specific words, exploring different phonetic possibilities for a sound where relevant.

Main task Use the cards on Resource Sheets 2a, 2b and 2c: Rhyming Word Cards to provide a range of different activities for groups of children to use to practise their rhyming skills.

• Have the cards face down on the table in a pile. Take turns to turn over the card at the top of the pile and, as a group, think of as many words that rhyme with it as you can. Children could choose a card, write it on the broomstick using Resource Sheet 3: Rhyme on the Broom, and then write all the rhyming words around the edge. These could be put together to create a class ‘rhyming dictionary’ for use in writing their own poems.

• Give each child a card and tell them that its rhyming pair is hidden somewhere in the classroom. Ask them to fly to find it and bring it back to you. How many pairs can they find in a set amount of time?

• Hide the rhyming pair cards in a sand tray or tuff tray filled with shredded paper. Ask children to find the cards and match them up.

• Play snap with the rhyming pairs.

Extension

Ask children to stand in a circle and hold a sponge ball. Throw the ball across the circle, saying a word from the story as you do so. The child who catches it has to think of a rhyming word and throw the ball to someone else. Continue until you can’t think of any more rhyming words, and then start again with a different word.

Provide a selection of other books by Julia Donaldson and poetry books, and ask children to look for and make a note of rhyming words.

correspondences that have been taught • develop pleasure in reading, motivation to read, vocabulary and understanding by listening to

and discussing a wide range of poems, stories and non-fiction at a level beyond that at which they can read independently
