Introduction
(5 minutes)
- Draw or show objects or images that rhyme with cat on the board (bat, rat, mat, etc.).
- Ask students to repeat the name of each image after you say it aloud.
- Model thinking aloud and saying, "All of these words have something in common. They all end with the same sound. When words end in the same sound, we say that they rhyme. We can also say that they are part of the same family, because they sound the same and go together. Just like the people in a family go together.
- Say, "Today we are going to learn about other rhyming word families."
