Rhyme Rhythm: 10-Minute Spark

Pacing & Sequence
1
Introduction (2 Minutes)
Use Rhyme Time Slides. Focus on the "same ending sound" definition. Exaggerate the ending sounds of Cat and Hat.
"Listen to my voice: C-at, H-at. They sound like twins at the end!"
2
Interactive Poem (3 Minutes)
Read "The Happy Cat" aloud. Have students clap or tap their desk every time they hear a word that rhymes with Cat.
- Read slow first, then a bit faster.
- Use physical gestures for 'Hat' (touch head) and 'Cat' (whiskers).
3
Rhyme Hunt (5 Minutes)
Transition to the Rhyme Hunt Worksheet. Model the first one (Cat/Hat) together on the board or screen.
Circulate and provide immediate feedback for students who may be confused by visual similarity versus auditory rhyming.
Differentiation Tips
For High Support
Focus on only one rhyming pair (Cat/Hat). Use physical objects (a toy cat, a real hat) to make the connection concrete.
For Extension
Ask students to think of one more word that rhymes with Cat (e.g., Rat, Sat, Pat) and draw it on the back of the page.
