Vowel Rhyme - Zaner-Bloser

How to use this teaching resource

• To be sung to the tune of ‘BINGO‘.
• A fun way to introduce the IMPORTANCE OF SYLLABLES AND VOWELS IN BEGINNING LITERACY….
• Each verse explains short vowels, and long vowels – with an example of words for each – these words can also be changed to fit the rhyme.
• Use this to reinforce the more widely used long and short vowel sounds, before moving on to less common vowel sounds such as (ou/ow, oi/oy, ar/ir/ur/or/aw, oo{book}).
• Works in well with our matching Vowels Bunting Chart – Ideal for literacy / spelling reference.
• Another great way to use these is to hand out the cut out sections (be it the phrases, or the words) and in groups children have to work together to place the rhyme back in order – or similarly – as a whole group start with the title – then whoever has the next section – comes forward and adds the next piece until the song is complete.
• Print the A4 size for each child to pop into their nursery rhymes, poems and songs scrapbook – children ‘play with the words, letters and sounds’
• Print (bigger onto A3 if prefer), pop onto coloured backing card, laminate and keep up on display to refer to often as a class.
• Print (larger onto A3 if you like, laminate, and cut up ready for children to reconstruct – pop into your song / poem box
• Don’t forget to really make the most of these poems / songs and put your detective hats on to search for rhyming words, circle phonic sounds, play ‘find the word’ games, look for question marks and other structures, lots of ‘playing with words’ – it’s great fun to find all the word/letter patterns in poems and nursery rhymes.
