Phonics Instruction & Rhyming

Phonics Instruction &Rhyming By: ChelseyCresap

Title and Introduction: “Teaching Phonics and Rhyming” During this lesson students in the first grade will actively engage in a power point. We will first discuss what makes up a word. Then we will tough upon word families. From word families we will learn about rhyming words and rhymes that are in poetry. Subject: English Language Arts Objectives: Through these interactive lessons students will strengthen their phonics skills by learning onsets, rimes, word families, and rhyming. Phonemic Awareness, Word Recognition and Fluency 2. Identify and say the beginning and ending sounds in words. 4. Decode by using letter-sound matches. 5. Use knowledge of common word families to sound out familiar words. 9. Read text using fluid and automatic decoding skills, including knowledge of patterns, onsets and rimes. Procedure: Children will follow along as a group with the power point I have created. Each slide will be read by the teacher, then talked about and discussed as a class. 1. The first lesson is on onsets and rimes which are the two parts that make up a word. Students will talk about the definitions and examples of this. Then they will answer the “quiz” collectively as a class. 2. The second lesson will be about word families. Again the teacher will read the slides. The students will then talk about and discuss the slides as a class. After discussing the information the students will then collectively as a class answer the given questions. Once they answer each question correctly they can move on. 3. The third lesson will be about rhyming words. This time we will introduce rhyming with poetry. The teacher first will read the slides about rhyming, and then the class will have a discussion. The class will then read the poem. When the poem is finished the children will have to identify the rhyming words. Evaluation: Before: I will first assess the students’ previous knowledge by asking them several questions about phonics in a short survey. The survey will not be graded. It will simply help me gain a better understanding of each child. During: Class discussion is strongly encouraged during the lesson. The teacher should pose questions and the students should ask them. Everyone should be participating. After: This short lesson will only be graded on terms of participation. Depending on how involved the student is with the lesson they can earn up to 10 points. Materials: Computer Projector

Getting down to business! Let’s talk about onsets and rimes. Do you know anything about onsets and rimes?

All words are made up of onsets and rimes. Spring onset rime

Onsets are the first set letters of a word, starting with the first letter and going all the way up until the first vowel. -Ex. “Spr” is the onset of the word spring.

Rimes are the second set letters of the word, starting with the first vowel to everything after it. -Ex. “ing” is the rime of the word spring.

Now you try it! What is the onset of the word swing? Sw ing

Correct! The onset of the word swing is “sw”

Try again Good try, but remember the onset of the word is the first set of letters going up until the first vowel.

This time lets try a rime! What is the rime of the word warm? w arm

Try again Good try, but remember the rime of a word is the second set of letters starting with the first vowel and everything after it.

Correct! The rime of the word warm is “arm”

Now let’s talk about word families! Do you know what a word family is? No, it’s not like our families at home, these families are different.

Word Families: A word family is a group of words that all share the same rime. Here are some examples for the –ing family: • Spring • Sing • Swing

Here is a list of many word families: -ack -ock -op -ot -ill -ing -ink -in -ick -up -ump -ug -el -est -ake -ine -ice -ide -ail -ay -eep

Rhyme: • All words in a word family rhyme with each other. • Rhyming is: the correspondence of terminal sounds of words or of lines of verse. • In other words, rhyming words have the same ending sounds. That is what makes them sound so similar.

Let’s try some! Which of the two words rhymes with flower? Shower plant

Correct! Good job, Flower rhymes with shower because they are both in the –ower word family.

Try again Good try, plant might by similar to flower but they do not rhyme.

It looks like you are starting to get it! Now let’s read this poem about spring and see if you can find the rhyming words.

“Spring”by: Emily Brown I really can’t wait for spring It makes me want to sing I really cant wait for spring I want to go on a swing Flowers are growing A warm breeze is blowing I really can’t wait for spring

There were a lot of rhyming words, could you find them all? The rhyming words that you found in this poem belong to which word family? -ait -ing -eeze

Try again! Good try, the -ait word family does rhyme with wait, but not the rhyming words for the entire poem. Go back to the poem and see if you can find one that repeats more.

Correct! The –ing word family is the word family used for rhyming in this poem. - spring - sing - swing - growing - blowing

Try again! Good try, the –eeze word family does rhyme with breeze, but not the rhyming words in the entire poem. Go back to the poem and see if you can find one that repeats more.

Good job class! You successfully made it through your first rhyming lesson.
