Getting started• Ask children if they have been on a steam train and what they know about steam
trains from other stories and television programmes.
• As a group, make the noises that a steam train can make, e.g. diddly-dee diddly dah. Practise getting faster and slower.
Reading and responding• Ask children to read pp74–75 in pairs, practising making the words sound like the
train’s engine.
• Ask children to predict where the train might be going and what might happen on
the way.
• In pairs, ask children to read to p85, working out how to make the train sound
slow and then fast and then slow again. Support children as they work together,
especially with tricky sound words like de-deedle-dee.

Returning to the book• Invite pairs to perform reading the poem to the rest of the group. Ask children to
comment on the effect of the performance, e.g. How have they made the poem sound like the train?
• Use the map on pp86–87 to recount the stages of the journey and discuss
features of the scenery.
• Challenge children to find the fastest and the slowest sound words in the poem.
• Reread and perform the poem as a group.
Checking and moving on • Make up additional sound words and actions for the poem and practise reading it
with them included.
• Use ICT sources or poetry books to find other children’s train or sound poems.
• Ask children to draw a new train journey and create a story poem for it.
