Good Morning, Nursery.

Well done for hearing and saying the ‘u’ sound yesterday.

Today we are going to be listening for words that rhyme using some of  the sounds that we have practiced so far.

Today’s Phonics task:  Read these rhyming words with an adult.

You could also print them, cut them out and put them back together.

Then, ask an adult to say the first word in the pair. Can you say the word that rhymes?

Can you think of another word that rhymes with each pair?

Challenge:  Can you make up a rhyming string like this… dog, log, frog, zog?

Can you read a rhyming book with an adult?

You can listen to the rhyming book ‘Each Peach, Pear, Plum’ that we listened to last week again here.  

Can you find the rhyming pairs in the books?

I can’t wait to hear about your phonics today.

Love from Miss Siswick

PRINTABLE VERSION: N Phonics Thursday

It would really help me if you could upload photos  straight to the media file (instructions are here: sharing photos and files) as they get to me more quickly and easily as they don’t have to go via the office and my e-mail. Please can either your child’s name or face (but not both) be visible on any photos. Many thanks.

    Hello,

    Adelaide cut the rhyming words and repeated them after me. I mixed them out and she found some of them, not all at first. We then played with her blocks of letters to re-create the words. Finally, she found that cat rhymes with bat and rat, ten with pen and Sam with ham/ram.

  7. Miss Siswick says:

    Well done, Adelaide. Keep practicing those rhyming words.
