Rhyme Time is the third program of the Clicker Phonics series and the first part of the Get Set! stage. In the Get Set stage of the Clicker Phonics series, children tune into the sounds of language, learning to focus on patterns in words and differentiating between their sounds. This builds on the skills they have learned in the Get Ready stage and lays the foundation for systematic phonic work in the Let’s Go stage. Hearing rhyme and alliteration in and between words encourages children to pay attention to detail, increasing their sensitivity to sounds in words.

In Rhyme Time, children

• engage in a variety of activities that encourage them to recognise and play with rhymes
  
• read a rhyme book and listen and sing along to nursery rhymes as well as play with rhyming words and rhyming couplets
  
• experiment as they create and record rhyming strings of real and nonsense words, their own rhyming couplets and new rhymes about nursery rhyme characters.

In addition to the Rhyme book, which provides an initial stimulus and introduction to simple rhymes, Rhyme Time includes the following activities:

Picture pairs

This activity encourages children to recognise rhyming words by asking them to select pictures in order to make rhyming picture pairs.

Hide and seek

In this activity children learn to recognise word sounds that rhyme by listening to a set of words and then selecting the word that rhymes with the image shown.

Sound game

The sound game activity enables children to practise recognising words that rhyme by listening to a series of words and selecting the one that rhymes with the word coming from the CD player.

Rhyming strings

In this activity children practise and demonstrate their awareness of rhyme in speech. They do this by continuing a rhyming string and recording a series of words that rhyme.

Clever couplets

This activity enables children to explore rhyming patterns within a simple sentence structure by selecting sentences to complete a series of rhyming couplets.

Write a poem

Here, children experiment with rhyming patterns within a simple poem structure by choosing words to create their own poems.

Additional activities

In the additional activities, children are given further opportunities to experiment with rhyme. Children are able to create their own rhyming lines about animals, nursery rhymes and storybook characters, and can even record their own rhyming strings in the More Strings activity.

Clicker Phonics Background

The Clicker Phonics series gets your children going with phonics and delivers engaging materials at the right level for their needs. It is designed to be used alongside any phonics scheme, including Jolly Phonics, and takes children from the first steps of discriminating environmental sounds right up to systematic synthetic phonics.

Using the proven technology of Clicker, Clicker Phonics:

• develops speaking and listening skills and builds phonological awareness.
  
• presents a programme of systematic phonic work
  
• supports active learning through listening and recording as students get to record their own voices as they build words phonetically.

You will find Clicker Phonics an easy yet incredibly powerful way to use computers and information technology to support all your 3-to-6-year-olds, plus older students who are struggling with reading. Perfect for English language learners too!

All the activities are carefully designed to be used in both whole-class teaching with the whiteboard or touchscreen monitor, and for individual work.
