Identifying rhyming words

Rhyming is a basic phonological awareness skill that develops a beginning understanding of the way sounds work within words. When students learn rhyming words, they are developing the ability to:

1. Break words down into smaller words.

2. Learn the rhythm of the written and spoken word.

3. Learn word families such as den, ben, ten, men, and pen.

4. Increases ability to spell new words.

Beginning Middle End

Identifying the most important event from the beginning, middle and end of the story helps a reader understand how organization, sequence, and plot make a good story. This can then be applied to their own writing. Teaching students to retell occurrences in a story helps them become more accurate in summarizing and monitoring their understanding.

Story elements

A graphic organizer, such as a story map, can help students visually organize a story's elements, increasing their ability to retell, summarize, and comprehend the story.

Sentence transformations

This activity gives students practice with sentence structure (Syntax). Transforming words that are out of order forces students to think about each word in a sentence rather than only memorizing an entire phrase without understanding the importance of structure.

Writing prompts

Making connections is thinking about the text in relation to ourselves, other texts, and the world. Making connections provides the basis for learning, as students connect new information with their own experiences. This develops fluency with their comprehension skills.
