Procedures

  1. Using practice masters, the students will circle similar letters in words (rhyming sounds).

Each set of cards will contain all letters of the alphabet. The teacher will write a word, such as "bag", on the board. At the sound, "Go", each group will be instructed to form the word using the index cards. The first group to correctly spell the word earns one point. The game continues until ten points are earned by one of the groups.
  3. The students will be given a BINGO card and markers. Play the game as usual.
  4. The book Hop on Pop, by Dr. Seuss, will be given to each student. The teacher will read it aloud to the students. Students will follow along with the teacher. After every 2-3 pages, the teacher will stop reading and ask students, "Which words are rhyming words?"
  5. Using the book, Hop on Pop, students will use letter tiles to make words found in the book. The students will place tiles in proper order to make words such as day, play, say, all, tall, ball.
