Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction to Rhyming	5 mins	Use a catchy rhyme from a book to capture students' attention. Ask if they know what makes the words sound the same. Discuss rhymes they already know.
2	Read-Aloud	10 mins	Read a selected rhyming picture book to the class. Pause at rhyming words and encourage students to predict the next rhyming word.
3	Rhyming Word Activity	10 mins	Divide students into pairs. Distribute rhyming word cards for them to match. Teachers circulate to assist and encourage.
4	Group Creation	5 mins	Bring the class together. Ask pairs to share one rhyming pair they have found. Write them on the large paper. Engage students in creating a simple rhyme.
5	Conclusion and Transition	5 mins	Summarise what rhymes are. Explain homework: to find three rhyming words at home, write them on sticky notes, and bring them to class next time. Ring the bell for attention.

Homework

• Submission: Students will place their sticky notes in a designated area without presenting them in front of the class.
