Rhythm & Rhyme Literacy Time Level 2 (Rhythm and Rhyme: Literacy Time)

What better gift to give students than engaging rhymes to read while building literacy skills? This second-grade classroom resource will enhance students' mastery of phonological awareness, phonics skills, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and writing while purposefully playing with rhymes! Each of the fifteen lessons offered in this classroom resource includes a traditional or original rhyme, six outlined activities, a list of standards and materials, and student reproducibles. Aligned to TESOL, WIDA, Common Core, and other state standards, poetic language activities include rhyming riddles, word sorts, writing connections, reader's theater, and more. Watch your students light up as they recite the rhymes and complete standards-based, hands-on activities in this book.About Shell Education Rachelle Cracchiolo started the company with a friend and fellow teacher. Both were eager to share their ideas and passion for education with other classroom leaders. What began as a hobby, selling lesson plans to local stores, became a part-time job after a full day of teaching, and eventually blossomed into Teacher Created Materials. The story continued in 2004 with the launch of Shell Education and the introduction of professional resources and classroom application books designed to support Teacher Created Materials curriculum resources. Today, Teacher Created Materials and Shell Education are two of the most recognized names in educational publishing around the world.
