INTRODUCTION
Counting rhymes provide opportunities for children to practice a range of math skills including counting, numeral recognition, ordinal numbers, addition and
enhances early reading skills, phonemic awareness, and sight word recognition.
Rhymes in this resource are provided in four formats:
Teacher Copy: This page can be enlarged and used as a Shared Reading text. Introduce one
your computer and project the rhyme for the week on your interactive whiteboard during Shared Reading sessions.
Student Copy: This page can be photocopied and cut in two for children to paste into their individual Counting Rhymes book (an unlined notebook works well for this). Add a rhyme each week and have them available for children to read during independent reading sessions.

Cloze Activity: Once children are familiar with the rhyme the cloze pages can be copied on cardstock, laminated and placed in the counting rhymes center with dry erase markers. Before placing the cloze activity in the center be sure to model how to carefully read the rhyme and write the missing numerals.
Sentence Strips: These pages can be either...a) laminated and cut into the marked strips for use in the counting rhymes center. Children can work with a partner to put the sentences in order before reading the rhyme together.b) used to make a class book, with children working in pairs to illustrate one page of the book to match their sentence strip.
Innovating on the text: Some rhymes include templates for students to innovate on the structure of the text to create their own versions of the rhymes. You can combine student’s rhymes to make books for your class library or display them as a wall story. Brainstorm and list appropriate words to replace omitted words from each rhyme before students complete and illustrate their own versions.

A Rhyme a Week
One way to use counting rhymes in your classroom is to choose one per week to use as a Shared Reading text. By revisiting rhymes regularly you will enhance both reading and math skills simultaneously.
Monday: Revisit favorite counting rhymes from previous weeks before introducing a new rhyme. Chant the rhyme and work on its rhythm.
Tuesday: Have students take turns to act out the rhyme as it is read.
Wednesday:rhyming or sight words.
Thursday: Revisit the rhyme and complete either the cloze or sentence strip activities together as a class.
Friday: Revisit the rhyme and have students paste a copy in their Counting Rhymes Book to take home and share with family members. Place laminated copies of the rhyme activities in the counting rhyme center for students to revisit throughout the year.
