Instructional Ideas
  • Read the poem aloud and then have kids repeat after you to practice pronouncing -at words
  • Assign the page as a warm-up or for homework
  • Use this in a teacher-led center; children can practice the concepts in other ways at the other centers
  • Ask kids to highlight the lines in the poem where they found the answers to the questions
Classroom Considerations
  • The clipart chosen for this worksheet is a bit odd, but the images do represent all the -at words (cat, rat, hat, mat, sat)
  • There isn't a lot to this resource, so you will likely use it as a supplementary material
Pros
  • The poem is short and to-the-point and includes many -at words for students to practice reading and saying
  • The handwriting lines provide a support for class members as they learn how to write correctly
Cons
  • Answers are not included, but should be relatively easy to determine
