find the rhyme

Dear Reader,

While planning for our learning activity and looking at the rhyming worksheet in the dyslexia activity book, and seeing the paint bags I’ve been trying to decide what to do with now, I had an idea and decided to add a tactile element to today’s lesson. So I made my own worksheet! If you have the dyslexia workbook, this activity will work with it, too. (To see what workbook I’m talking about, click to read what books we use).

After creating the worksheet, I took an alcohol wipe to the logo on the ziplock bag of paint. It was really easy to get off, actually! And then I taped it to the worksheet and taped the worksheet to the table (I suggest painters tape but I took the risk since my painters tape is currently packed up while my craft room is under construction (don’t ask. It’s taken way too long). The tape is pretty important, since the bag is kinda slippery.

I put a lot of work into this worksheet, so it is for sale over in my products. The products part of my site is still very much in its infancy, so watch for more products coming soon!

Anyway, she had to show everyone that she could find the rhymes and has gone back to it off and on all afternoon, so I think it’s a success! The nice thing is that you can do it over and over without having to have a grownup reset it, because as you move the paint around it re-covers the pictures. I was worried that would be an annoyance, but I think it helped reiterate which words rhymed as she rediscovered them.

You could still play with this worksheet like the original idea and cut 1.75″ squares and play it like memory match. Or you could just cut the pictures out, too. But if your kids learn kinetically, this is definitely a better idea than I ever would have hoped, and I intend to use this learning method again!
