Phonemic Awareness Activities...
Rhyme
This week we have started to talk about rhyme. Rhyme can be found in poetry, songs, and many children's books and games. Most children love to sing and recite nursery rhymes too! Rhyme is when two words have the same sound at the end of the word. For example: cat-rat
Here are some games you can play at home with your child:
Rhyme Challenge
One person chooses a word and says, I challenge you to think of as many rhymes as you can for "cat". The next player says as many words as he/she can that rhyme with that word. Both players keep count.
Rhyme Go Fish!
This is very similar to the game Go Fish! This version uses rhyme pictures or words on cards. You could use pieces of paper or index cards to create cards. All of the cards are placed in the "pond' and each player takes five cards. after checking to see if anyone has any rhyming pairs, the game begins.
Player one might ask, Do you have a word that rhymes with pan? Player two reads his/her words and determines whether she has a match or not. If he/she does, they hand the card to player 1. If not, they say, Go fish! and player 1 selects a card from the deck. Continue to play until one player has no cards left.

Sight Words
Each week students are learning 5 new sight words. The sight words sent home are words which have already been introduced, taught, and used during independent centers. Therefore, these words should be review and used for additional practice.
