The Cook Took My Cookbook
Objective
Recognize words that rhyme with cook (e.g., "Do book and cook rhyme?") and produce rhyme words (e.g., "Think of a word that rhymes with cook.").
Lesson Plan
Target Words:
- took
- cook
- look
- cookbook
- shook
Materials:
- A cookbook or spiral notebook with pictures of food inside (see below)
- A cook’s hat (i.e., a white plastic shopping bag taped to a strip of white paper to go around a child's head like a crown)
State and model the objective
Tell the children that they will cook from a cookbook, and hear and say words that rhyme with cook (such as book, look, took, shook and cookbook).
Practice the skill within an activity
Find the cookbook
- Tell the children to close their eyes while you tap one child on the shoulder to have him or her hide the cookbook.
- Have all the children open their eyes and take turns guessing who took the cookbook by saying, “____ took the cookbook!”
- Let the children look around the room for the cookbook, and when they find it, have them say, “Look, the cookbook!”
Cook from the cookbook
- Show the children the cookbook with different pictures of food inside that they can make.
- Choose one child to wear the cook's hat (optional), and hand him or her your cookbook.
- Ask the "cook" (child wearing the cook's hat) to look in the cookbook for what he or she wants the class to pretend to cook.
- Have the children work together to pretend to cook the food that the cook picked.
- Tell the children to say -ook phrases as they pretend to cook the food, such as:
- "_____ is the cook."
- "What did he or she pick to cook from the book?"
- "I shook the ingredients together."
- "Look what I took out of the oven!"
- Repeat as desired, letting other children take a turn being the cook.
- Ask the children to name all of the words they heard that rhyme with cook.
Apply the skill
Practice rhyming
- Produce words that rhyme with cook
- Remind the children of the words they played with (cook, book, took, look, cookbook).
- Tell them you can think of other words that rhyme with cook (shook, hook, nook).
- Ask each child to think of a word that rhymes with cook.
- If a child doesn't respond in a few seconds, give him/her an option:
- "How about book? Does book rhyme with cook?" (Nod your head, yes to let the child know that they rhyme)
- "Do took and cook rhyme?" (Nod your head yes)
- Recognize rhyming words
- Have the children repeat a set of 2 words (e.g. cook, took).
- Ask the children to put their thumbs up if the words rhyme and thumbs down if the words do not rhyme.
- Repeat with other sets of words: (e.g., look, book; shook, goat; hook, nook; cook, duck; rook, took).
- If children do not respond correctly, repeat the 2 words, emphasizing the ending sounds of the words.
