"Poem: Baby Chick" is all about listening for the sounds inside words — rhyming, blending, or breaking words into parts (focus: Baby Chick).
- What sounds, rhymes, or word parts did you hear?
- How were the sounds put together or pulled apart?
- Can you make another word that plays with those same sounds?
