Will be taken from the text
Teacher will write few verses of a nursery rhyme on the
blackboard. For example: twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I
wonder what you are.
Teacher will underline the words ‘star’ and ‘are’ and ask
students what these two words have in common. If students

different and they spell different but they have the same
ending sounds.
Skill(s):

Listening and speaking

Methodology/pedagogy:
(20 minutes)

Teacher will write three words on board which have same starting letters e.g “ca” and will make words by adding different ending letters
e.g cap, cat, car

Teacher will write three words on board which have same starting and ending letters e.g “p__n” and will make words by adding different
middle letters e.g pan, pen, pin Teacher will write three words on board which have same ending letters e.g “at” and will make words by
adding different starting letters e.g cat,bat,rat

At this point teacher will explain the concept of rhyming words: the words which have same ending sound. Teacher will further elaborate
the concept by giving example of “king, ring and spring”

Teacher will tell students to open their books to page 22.

Teacher will tell students that they will be studying rhyming words.

Teacher will refer to the ‘Things to know’ box: Rhyming words sound alike. They are made by changing the beginning sound of a word.

Teacher will tell students that rhyming words have different letters but the same ending sounds. Examples are: glad, bad, mad, sad… all
these words have different first letters, but the same last letters and the same ending sounds.
Activity: Give each student a picture and have them find their rhyming partner (i.e., one student has a picture of a bear, and another student
has a picture of a chair). After students have found their partners, mix up the pictures or grab new ones, give each child a different picture,
and play again!
Creative/critical thinking:

Teacher will tell students that they have to do Q#4. Teacher will tell students that they have to name the objects in blank, making sure
