Click, clack, moo: Reading word family words
http://www.readwritethink.org/lessons/lesson_view.asp?id=847
A lesson plan for grades K–1 English Language Arts
In this lesson, students learn to identify rimes or word families and apply their knowledge of these words to the decoding of new words. During a repeated read-aloud of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type, the teacher stops frequently to clarify definitions for unfamiliar words and engages students in discussion about their thoughts about the book. After modeling word recognition strategies, the teacher can use several extension activities suggested by Readwritethink.
