Had the same issue with the Hey Diddle, Diddle script...Here is what I
came up with this evening...
Hey Diddle, Diddle Script
Please take out the blue sheet with the nursery rhyme
Hey Diddle, Diddle
The title of this rhyme is Hey Diddle, Diddle.
Introduction: This is a silly nursery rhyme about many different
animals. Can you imagine a cow jumping over a moon?
Please point to the title. It’s bigger and darker than the rest of
the
words.
Let’s read this rhyme together.
Put your finger on the green dot.
Ready,
Hey diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Now sing this rhyme with me
Put your finger on the green dot
Ready, let’s sing….
Hey diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Great work! Now we are going to look for the word ‘the’ in this poem.
Let’s look at the first line. Do you see the word ‘the’? If you said
‘no’ you’re correct! Now let’s look at the second line. Do you see the
word ‘the’? Remember ‘the’ is spelled t-h-e. Do you see it more than
once? You’re right! The word ‘the’ is printed twice in this line. They
look different from each other because one starts with a capital T and
the other starts with a lowercase t. Now look through the rest of the
poem and count how many times you see ‘the’. Did you find the word
‘the’ 5 more times? Remember some start with a lowercase t and some
start with a capital T. Great work!
