SORTS FOR EMERGENT- RHYME

Directions For Rhyming Sorts 5-6

Rhyming sorts are a good way to begin to focus young children's attention on the sounds in words (phonological awareness) and can be used at any time. Whenever possible relate the sorts to something you read ? a poem or book with rhyming words. See chapter 4 in Words Their Way: Word Study Phonics, Vocabulary and Spelling 5e which describes the emergent stage in detail. Similar sorts, as well as additional sorts and activities for emergent learners, can be found in the supplemental book: Letter and Pictures Sorts for Emergent Spellers. You can also create more rhyme sorts using the online application. Lists of possible rhyming pictures can be found in the appendix of Words Their Way: Word Study for Phonics, Vocabulary and Spelling, 5e and you can look for these to drag and drop into sort templates.

Printable Rhyme Games: Look for the Rhyming Bingo game. You can also select your own words and pictures to use with game templates under the Sorts and Games tab. You can find the Rhyming Bingo game by typing it into the search box. You can select words and pictures by clicking the Create Your Own button.

E Sort 5. Two Category Rhyme Sort

Display the pictures for this sort and name them with students' help. Words like grain and pane may be new vocabulary that is worth learning but will take some practice. Hold up two words such as pail and snail. Say, Listen to the sounds in these words, pail ? snail. These words rhyme because they sound alike at the end. Model with two other words such as train and chain. Use two words (such as snail and train) as headers and explain that the rest of the words will rhyme with them. Sort several pictures and explain each time what you are doing, Tail rhymes with snail so I will put it with these words under snail. Then get students to help you sort the rest and encourage them to explain their thinking. After sorting, read through all the pictures to emphasize the rhyming sound. Ask students how the words in each column are alike (They all rhyme or sound alike at the end.) Leave up the headers and scramble the rest of the words to resort, check and reflect again in the group before giving students their own set of words to sort. (Note: Feel free to leave out any pictures that might be problematic like jail)

E Sort 6. Three Category Rhyme Sort

Display the pictures for this sort and name them with student's help. Hold up two words such as bell and smell. Say, Listen to the sounds in these words, bell - smell. These words rhyme because they sound alike at the end. Model with two other pairs (cry- fry, key ? bee) to introduce the three categories and set up headers. Sort several pictures and explain each time what you are doing, Yell rhymes with bell so I will put it with these words under bell. Then get students to help you sort the rest and encourage them to explain their thinking. After sorting, read through all the pictures to emphasize the rhyming sound. Ask students how the words in each column are alike (They all rhyme or sound alike at the end.) Leave up the headers and scramble the rest of the words to resort, check and reflect again in the group before giving students their own set of words to sort.
