Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

e. g. at, pat, mat, fat, etc.
- Revise the lesson on prefixes. Let learners know that just as we have family names (surnames), there are words that have the same ending that belong to the family of rhyming words.
- Through brainstorming have learners come up with words that belong to a particular rhyming family. Have children identify these rhyming words as they read.
- Have learners hunt for these words and build a portfolio on them.
- Guide learners to build on words.
e.g. -at = cat - bat - hat -all = call - fall - wall
- it = sit - pit - hit -ot = tot - pot - cot
