We started the Rhyme Time
center to extend the reach of
focus poetry. Because of space
(well, really lack of space!), we
made smaller copies of each
poem on poster board. They
are small enough to be stored in
a crate, large enough to focus
on each word.
While in the center, students
read the poems to each other
and then discuss which words
rhyme. They go back to the
print to find these rhyming
words and record them.
Some students are ready for
more, able to notice that not all
rhymes have the same rimes
(ending). So these children will
sort their list of rhymes into
those spelled the same (blue,
glue) and those spelled
differently (shampoo, flu).
We also have lots of concrete
puzzles and objects to match,
as well!
