Introduction
(20 minutes)- Hold up the paints and paintbrushes. Ask the class, Who would use these items? After hearing their answers, show them the "Artist" concept word strip. Explain that an artist is someone who makes drawings and sculptures using different materials.
- Show students the "Faint" concept word strip. Explain that when someone faints, they pass out and fall to the floor.
- Show them the "Harm" concept word strip. Explain that when someone is harmed, they get hurt.
- Tell them that all of the concept words you just showed them are in the story you're about to read. Some of them are used as rhyming words, or words that have the same ending sound. Examples of rhyming word pairs are log/frog and bed/head.
- Distribute copies of the Rhyming Word Pairs worksheet. Together as a class, find the rhyming pairs.
- Use the identified pairs to sing the following song to the tune of London Bridge:
Dog and frog are rhyming words
Rhyming words, rhyming words
Dog and frog are rhyming words
Say them with me! (Dog, frog!)
