4. RHYMING OBJECTS


MATERIAL:

A basket of small objects that rhyme the same sound. The objects could be in pairs, in group. You may use pictures illus trating rhyming words.

DESCRIPTION:

1. The teacher takes the objects out of the container, identifies them and lays them in a row on the rug.

2. Say to the child: " We are going to try to find tow objects that rhyme. That means their endings are going to sound alike."

3. The teacher then picks up the first object and says its name. You places it on the rug, then picks another object up, and says its name. Point both objects and say names again clearly, show you are concentrating to figure the rhyme, if they rhyme you shake your head "yes" and places them together on the left side. If they do not rhyme you shake your head "No" and tries another object. Continue the same manner until all objects have been paired. Then say the names of all the rhyming pairs.

4. Tell the child: " We are going to mix up the objects so you can try to find the rhyming pairs." The child makes the rhyming pairs and says the names of the rhyming pairs after all the objects have been paired.

5. When he has finished working the child returns the material to the shelf.
