You can use any surface for writing — paper, a small chalkboard, or
even a tray of sand — to practice making new words with
phonograms. Write a word like cat and erase the c. Have your child
write another consonant letter to make a new word. Check to be sure
the new word is real, not a nonsense word.
Rhyme Time
Tell your child that every so often you will surprise him or her by
saying “It’s rhyme time.” Ask your child to look around for an object or
printed word nearby, and then say that word and another word that
rhymes with it.
Reading Together
To practice recognizing rhyming words, go over your child’s Take-

rhyming words in the story.

Directions: Help children construct the rhyme cube. Glue or paste the page to lightweight cardboard and cut out the cube. Fold

ing a rhyme that matches the picture and word on top, one point per rhyme. Or they can roll it, then work as teams to think of as
many rhyming words as possible. Encourage children to keep or dictate a list of their rhyming words.
