Rime Lesson Plans

First graders read new words that share the same rime as a word they already know.  In this word families lesson, 1st graders read words on index cards with the teacher, play a matching game with different rimes, and eventually read new words with initial blends or digraphs. 

Twelfth graders read selections of poem and examine the use of specific literary terms. They then identity and discuss the terms given. Students define the following terms: assonance, internal rhyme, alliteration, and consonance as literary terms.

First graders practice their spelling skills. In this spelling lesson, 1st graders explore onsets and rimes as they complete an activity regarding double letters.

Young scholars listen to two major poems; Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and Wordsworth's "Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey". They determine the shared central them of both poems and write a five-paragraph essay on one of several topics.

First graders improve word identification skills and expand sight vocabulary by using onset-rime analogy.

Third graders are introduced to the phonograms in, ick, and ing. and demonstrate their understanding of phonograms by creating additional words with the same rime (for instance- fin, stick, and ring).

Help early readers identify rhyming words in nursery rhymes. They will read the nursery rhyme, Three Little Kittens Who Lost Their Mittens in order to note the words they hear that are rhyming. They also chart the rhyming words they hear.

Students create rhymes. In this rhyming words lesson students produce a list of words that rhyme. Students use the familiar nursery rhyme, Three Little Kittens, as a template for other rhymes.

Through this 3-day lesson learners will develop an understanding of several elements of narration such as plot, characterization, setting, point of view, and theme. Reading several fiction texts and taking notes using dialectical journaling, your class will make analytical observations, comparisons, and ask textual questions. Using the data collected they will present their findings in an analysis.  Home connections, extensions, and differentiation activities included.  

Help learners examine rhyming words through a number of activities including using picture cards and visiting rhyming sites on the Internet. They listen to a read aloud of a book that contains rhyming words and dictate a sentence that includes rhyme.
