Overview
The children will play a game where they roll a block and toss a rock while they read and write words ending in –ock such as block, lock, sock, and rock.

Literacy Activities
Roll a block and toss a rock

  • Set the pictures in a 2X2 grid on the floor and have the children sit around them.
  • Choose 1 child to roll the block and read the –ock word it landed on, then have all of children mark a tally under that word on their Tally Sheets.
  • Choose 4 or 5 children to toss a small rock onto the corresponding image on the floor. The person who gets the rock the closest wins.
  • Repeat, choosing different children to roll the block and toss a rock each time.

More Practice
Identify, blend, and manipulate sounds

  • With word blending cards, have the children make new words by changing either of the consonants or the vowel:
    • sock flock; clock block; lock rock
    • sock  sack; clock cluck; lock lick
    • lock  lot; flock floss; rock rod

Read and write target words

  • Read the Rock on a Sock target text to the class, and have the children clap each time they hear a word that ends in –ock.
  • Make a list of –ock words from the target text on the board.
  • Read the list together as a class.
  • Ask the children what letters are the same in every word on the list.
