Introduction
(5 minutes)- Begin with the game "I Spy Two Words that are Alike." Invite your students to sit in a semi-circle and place the words in the center.
- If your students are unfamiliar with the game "I Spy," briefly explain what the word spy means, modeling the action of looking. Invite your students to "spy" the words that are alike.
- Your students might initially notice that the beginning letters are alike. Tell your students that those words have beginning letters that are alike, but today's focus will be on words that have the same ending sounds, or words that rhyme.
