You can also create your own silly rhymes with children, asking them to come up with words that rhyme with different sounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sound hunt:<\/strong> Choose a particular sound and ask children to listen for it as you read a story. For example, if you choose the &#8220;s&#8221; sound, ask children to listen for words that begin with &#8220;s&#8221; or have an &#8220;s&#8221; sound in the middle or at the end of the word.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alliteration antics:<\/strong> Start with the child\u2019s name. How many objects can they find with the same initial sound? What action or describing words can they add to make funny phrases that are alliterations? Sara, socks, silly, stripy can quite easily become Sara&#8217;s stripy socks are silly! Generate some nonsense alliterations in a fun way!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Phoneme swap: <\/strong>Choose a word in the story and ask children to change one sound to make a new word. For example, if the word is &#8220;cat,&#8221; ask children to change the &#8220;c&#8221; to a &#8220;h&#8221; to make &#8220;hat.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Syllable clapping: <\/strong>Ask children to clap or stomp for each syllable in a word or phrase as you read it. For example, if you read the phrase &#8220;once upon a time,&#8221; children would clap four times &#8211; once for each syllable in \u201conce\u201d, \u201cup-on\u201d, \u201ca\u201d, and \u201ctime\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">By incorporating these types of aural activities into story time, you can help children develop their phonological awareness in a fun and engaging way. This can help set them on the path to becoming confident and capable readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group learnings has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff6f3\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-this-booklist-to\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><strong>Use this <\/strong><\/strong>booklist to:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identify texts that build phonological awareness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make reading times playful and fun<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explore children to specific auditory experiences though read alouds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":323,"featured_media":14501,"template":"resource\/resource_post_container.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"categories":[294,299],"tags":[405,319],"coauthors":[406],"class_list":["post-14442","resource_post","type-resource_post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-approaches-to-learning-skills","category-early-years","tag-early-years","tag-english"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
