This Week in Phonics…

Nursery crew are getting better at identifying words that rhyme and making up our own rhyming strings such as log, dog, frog, tog, wog and tip, lip, ship, dip, yip (this can include nonsense words too!). We have also been sharing lots of different books that rhyme such as Duck on a Truck to help us hear the rhyming couplets.

We also have a catchy song to sing when we find a pair of words that rhyme…. Why don’t you have a practice at home? We love singing this in our phonics sessions…

Cat and bat
Cat and bat
They both sound the same
Cat and bat
Cat and bat
They both sound the same, they rhyme!
(To the tune of jingle bells)

We’d love to hear about any rhyming you do at home through Google Classroom. Maybe you could upload a video of you singing the rhyming song or of your own rhyming string?🎶
