"Poem: Big Snow" is all about listening for the sounds inside words — rhyming, blending, or breaking words into parts (focus: Big Snow).

  1. What sounds, rhymes, or word parts did you hear?
  2. How were the sounds put together or pulled apart?
  3. Can you make another word that plays with those same sounds?

Quick work-a-long

Practice: sound, rhyme, word part.

Try it: Pick a short word, say each sound slowly, then blend it back together — and think of one word that rhymes with it.
