Students` Learning Outcomes
- Recognize, find out, create and use more rhyming words.
Information for Teachers
- A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds in two or more words. It is modst often used in poetry and songs.
- These words might not have similar endings spellings but the ending sounds are same e.g., me, see, tea, or grow, go, sew, know.
- The selection of words is very important here.
- Teacher must select easy and meaningful rhyming words.
- This will actually help in increasing the students` vocabulary.
- In the beginning, you must select three or four letter words which end with the sound “at” e.g. cat, mat, rat, fast, and hat, bat that, chat, and then move forward.
Note:
- This plan should be conducted in two lessons.
- In the first lesson they can do the activities related to recognizing and finding out the rhyming words.
- While in the second lesson they can create and use rhyming words in sentences of their own.
- While teaching the lesson, the teacher should also use the textbook at all the steps where it is required.

Development
Activity 1

- Appreciate the pair of students that complete he task first.
Activity 2

- What are rhyme words?
- Where are they used the most?
- Tell the class that it is really important when they are reading poems.
- They can see rhyming words at the end of each verse of most of the poems.
- These words are also important because they help you in spelling same sound words.
