Remembering, Understanding

1.      During a shared reading experience, sit close to the students to read a poem, rhyme, song, or story written in large-text format and illustrated with a strong match between pictures and text.  (A big book is an example of such a text.)  Before beginning to read, ask students to predict what they think the text will be about by looking at the cover and title page pictures.  Read a portion of the text and ask students if any of their predictions have come true.  During the reading of the text, stop once or twice at an appropriate story point to lead students to confirm or modify previous predictions and make new ones based on the reading and pictures.
2.      Involve students in choral speaking and echo reading of familiar poems, songs, rhymes, or chants.  In choral speaking, students recite a selection together, either as a class or in small groups.  The lines may be divided so that several students speak one line and then the whole class speaks a set of lines.  Coach tempo (how fast or slow to read the lines), rhythm (which words to stress or say the loudest), pitch (when to raise or lower the voice), and juncture (when to pause and how long to pause).  Discuss with students the decisions about the oral speaking of a selection and have them explain why they are making the choices they are.  The same considerations should be made when students are involved in echo reading.  In echo reading you take the lead and model how a line of text is read; students “echo” the reading. 
3.      Create simple props that support acting out the book, nursery rhyme, or fairy tale that the class is studying.  Discuss the props as a class.  Divide the class into small groups and give each group a set of props.  Have students work together to retell the story through drama.  Place props in the pretend area of the class so students may repeatedly act out the story.  This activity may be done with puppets acting out the story. 
4.      When revisiting a shared reading text, students decide on sounds (to be made vocally, with simple musical instruments, or with found objects) and/or motions that represent key parts of the text selection.  Students may work with motions and sounds as an entire class, or they may be grouped and assigned to be in charge of specific scenes.  Students practice and experiment with ideas and interpretations.  Then conduct a reading of the text with students participating on cue. 
5.      Read a familiar nursery rhyme or predictable text.  Then tell the students you are going to read the selection again.  This time you will leave out a rhyming word.  (Cover the word with a post-it.)  Their job is to supply the missing word.  Prompt: What word is next?  (g. and h.)
6.      Read stories that have rhyming words.  Draw students’ attention to the words that rhyme.  Help the students to identify the patterns made by the rhyme, (i.e., which last two sounds are the same). 
7.      Make up rhymes or use rhymes in a book.  Leave rhyming words at the end of a phrase blank.  Students select rhyming words that make sense to finish the rhyme. 
8.      Record on chart paper, a language experience text based on a common class activity.  (A language experience text is one that the class composes, and the teacher records.)  As students contribute ideas, write them.  Write each new sentence on a separate line.  As each sentence is written, identify it as a sentence.  As you record the students’ sentences, also periodically identify single words.  For example, you might say, “Now, I’m going to write the word duck.”  or ask, “What word goes next?” 
9.      Use picture cards for rhyming activities that emphasize the concept of word.  For example, when students are shown picture cards of a bat, a cat, and a ball, ask them,  “Two of these words rhyme, one does not rhyme.  Can you tell me which word does not rhyme with the other words.” 
10.   After students are familiar with a big book selection because they have listened to it read several times and they have interacted with the text by acting it out, drawing pictures, doing a choral reading, etc., read the text again.  This time let the students know that you are going to read it one sentence at a time and that you are going to clap each time you read a word.  Model the activity.  Then invite students to repeat the sentence with you and clap for each word.

1.      Show the students a set of three pictures, two of which rhyme.  Ask the students to name the pictures and choose the two that rhyme.  Repeat the rhyming set orally as a class.  Confirm if the two words rhyme. 
2.      Show the students a set of three pictures, two of which start with the same beginning sound.  Ask the students to name the pictures and choose the two that begin with the same sound.  Repeat the set orally as a class.  Confirm if the two words rhyme. 
3.      Engage students in picture sorting by rhyme.  Conduct the activity as a whole-class or small-group, teacher-directed lesson to model the process for students.  Once students understand the process, they can be guided to work more independently in pairs, small groups, and individually.  Identify two pictures with different rime pattern, say each, and place each at the beginning of what will be a column for all pictures that rhyme with the guide picture word.  Students sort picture cards according to the picture with which they rhyme and place rhyming cards under the guide card.  If the student makes a mistake, say the name of the guide picture that the student identified followed by the name of the picture and prompt the student to listen if they sound the same.  Repeat the process with the alternative guide picture, coaching the student to hear the sounds that are the same. 
4.      Give a target word to students, (e.g., bat) and have them list orally words that rhyme with the given word.  Have students say the rhyming part of the word.  Record the words that rhyme in a list under the target word.  If students give words that rhyme, but do not have the same end rime, record the word, but make a new column for the variant spelling. 
5.      Give each student a set of three cards with pictures that represent a variety of end rimes.  (Not all students have the same card, although cards may be repeated across students.)  Say a word aloud.  The students with a picture whose name rhymes with the word hold it up. Each student with a rhyming card repeats the word that the teacher said and the name of her/his picture.  The class determines if they hear the rhyme by saying the two words.  If the sounds do not match, coach the students to hear the difference.

​Provide daily experiences for children to listen to stories to demonstrate how print works.  When reading a story to the students begin by displaying the cover page and point to the print (title and author) and read.  Help the chidren recognize that these are letters and letters make words which can be read, written, spoken, and sung.  As the book is read note how the pictures correlate with the text.  Repeat these activities on a daily basis.

Teach the students a repetitive song or poem.  After the students have learned the song display the song/poem on a chart tablet.  Talk to the children about the words on the chart.  Explain that the words from the song they learned are now on the chart page.  Point to the words on the chart as you sing/read the chart.  Tell students that the words we speak can be written and that we use the letters of the alphabet to spell the words.
