Rhyming words

The MWF class has been learning more about words that rhyme as well as onset letter sounds. I start with a simple word like cat and then write the last part "at" on the white board and have them add other letters to the front of the word to make a new word. We've done this activity several times during large group and the children have done quite well. It's taken some practice and learning what consonants and vowels are.  We've learned that using vowels in front of the word doesn't work, but consonants sound much better! 

Here is what we did today.

Words from the "ag" family. 

Yes, we realize some of these words

aren't real words, but it's still fun

to play with sounds and words.
