Learning Objectives

Students will be able to identify and match rhyming words to corresponding pictures.

Introduction

Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of rhyming words. Ask students, "Which word rhymes with dish?" Show pictures of a fish and a dog to illustrate the concept.

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling

Present an example question: "Which word rhymes with dish?" Display pictures of a fish and a dog, emphasizing that rhyming words end with the same sound. Explain the key idea that words like "tip" and "slip" rhyme because they both end with "ip," while words like "tip" and "last" don't rhyme because they end with different sounds. Solve the example by identifying that "wish" and "fish" rhyme, both ending with "ish," while "mop" does not rhyme.
