For topic today, start by listening to our story 'What the Ladybird Heard?'. Push play on the youtube video below…

After listening to the story, I would like you think about if you heard any rhyming words? Ask your Robin - Did you hear any words that rhyme? What is a rhyming word? Something that sounds the same and has similar endings. Allow time for them to share their ideas and examples. Then listen to the book again, encouraging them to join in with the rhyming words.

Display the pairs of rhyming words from the story for the children to match and read.

Then use the blank words to make your own rhyming word cards. For example ‘hen, pen’ and ‘duck, cluck’. Get the your Robin to have a go at writing the words using their phonic knowledge.
