See Standards

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.
