Rhyming words

We are learning about rhyming words. The middle and last sound in rhyming words has to be the same. It is easy to sound out words when they are rhyming. Rhyming words almost sound the same. Only the first sound is different.  I find it easy to read and write rhyming words.

Reading My Spring Acrostic Poem.

The teacher read a book called 'The Dandelion Seed' by Joseph Anthony.  Then we made our own picture of a dandelion seed blowing around.  After that we wrote our Acrostic Poem about Spring.  We wrote the word SPRING down the side of our page and we wrote some words about Spring.  Mrs Kerr published our best work.  We displayed it on the wall in Room 1.  We read our poems to the teacher and she recorded it on the computer.  Press the play button and you will hear my voice saying my awesome poem.

"I am learning to read and I am awesome.  I like to read books about snoring and animals.  My family think I am really awesome at reading."

I Read My Book and I Can Answer Some Questions.

At reading time we can read a book with Mrs Kerr and then we can look at the same book on the computer and we can do some activities with the letters and words.  It's called P.M. Readers.

"I read the book, My Little Cat, with Mrs Kerr.  I played on the laptop and I found the same story.  The lady reads the story and I match the words.  I got lots right and I got 4 yellow dogs.  I feel great.  Next time I can play the same game or I can play a different game."

I Can Use the Illustrations to Help Read the Words.

I am learning to use the pictures to help me to read the words in my book.  When I look at a new page, I look at the pictures first.  Next, I look at the words and I try to read them. The pictures help me to read the words that I don't already know.

"I like to read a book to Mrs Kerr.  I am reading my book and I am pointing at the words."
