Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to describe the structure and composition of nursery rhymes and a set of cards to practise identifying and writing rhymes for different cvc words with the same final phoneme sounds.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use role-play to retell and illustrate a story based on a traditional nursery rhyme.

This lesson is part of a literacy scheme of work to get the children to investigate the use of patterned language and rhyming in traditional nursery rhymes and practise segmenting words into individual phonemes by reading and adapting poetry. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
