Guided Reading Year 3 (White level) rhyming words activity

Once the children have read the book and hopefully realised that the text rhymes I ask them to choose a verse each and practise it until it can be performed to a high standard (NC expectation).

During the guided reading session the teacher can discuss rhyming words in general, then look at the ones in the book - be careful not to duplicate the ones on the worksheet!

Following that, the children in the guided reading group could read the poem to the rest of the class and leave the second couplet out and see if the other children can add a word that rhymes. It's great fun and can help to assess those that understand rhyming and those that can add words that match the context of the story.

Have fun!
