Please take out the blue sheet with the nursery rhyme Eensy Weensy
Spider
“The title of this rhyme is Eensy Weensy Spider
Introduction: What would you do if you came to school and there was a
lamb on the playground? In this rhyme, Mary’s lamb came to school
with her. Let’s find out what happened.

“Point to the title. It’s bigger and darker than the rest of the

words.” 
“Let’s read this together.” Eensy Weensy Spider 
“Put your

finger on the green dot.”
“Ready

Eensy weensy spider
went up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
Now the eensy weensy spider
Went up the spout again.
“Now sing this rhyme/poem/chant. with me” 
“Put your finger on the
green dot” 
“Ready, let’s sing”
Eensy weensy spider
went up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
Now the eensy weensy spider
Went up the spout again.
When we read the Eensy Weensy Spider the first time, we read it slow.
On the second time, we sang it. What we worked on is fluency. When
you read something slowly, you sound like a robot. That is not how
you sound when you talk. We talk with a smooth voice.

Hope this is ok.

[Marsia]

I think this looks great but I did find one thing that needs to be
omitted:
At the beginning of Eeensy Weensy Spider, the introduction for Mary
Had a Little Lamb has been repeated. I am sure it just didn't get
deleted when the script was created. I think we just need to take
those few lines out and all will be okay =).
Thanks to the group who worked on this!

Good. “Are” rhymes with “star”. They sound the same. Listen… “Are,
Star”

you sound when you talk. We talk with a smooth voice. When you read,
you should read like you talk.

I Can Read Colors (phonemic awareness skill)

Please take out the blue sheet. We are going to read the poem, I Can
Read Colors. This is about things that are different colors. Do you
have a favorite color? Let’s see if it’s in the book. Please point to
the title at the top of the page. It is the words that are in bigger
letters and look darker. The title of this poem is I Can Read Colors.
Now put your finger on the green dot and we will read this poem
together:

Orange is an orange.
Yellow is the sun.
Brown is the bear and
Purple is the plum.
Red is an apple.
Green is a tree.
Black is a witch’s hat.
I can read!
Listen to me.

Good work! Remember how we read about the yellow sun? We are going to
tap out (can be replaced with the language you use in your classroom)
the sounds that we hear in the word sun. Get your fingers ready to
start tapping out the word. Ready? /S/ /U/ /N/ sun. Did you remember
to put your sounds together to form the word? Let’s try one more word.
Let’s tap out the word hat. Get your fingers ready. Here we go, /H/ /
A/ /T/ hat. Nice work! Tapping out words is important when we read and
write. Excellent work!

Jack and Jill Script (sight word skill)

Please take out the blue sheet. We are going to read the poem Jack and
Jill. This is a poem about two kids walking up a hill. Have you ever
walked up a hill? Please point to the title at the top of the page. It

The title of this poem is Jack and Jill. Now put your finger on the

green dot and we will read this poem together:

Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
and Jill came tumbling after.

Great job! Were you able to figure out what Jack’s crown was? It is
another name for his head. Poor Jack! Let’s go back and look for some
sight words. Can you find the word and? Did you find it? The word that
is spelled a-n-d and? Nice work! Can you find it two more times?
Great! Remember and is spelled a-n-d, let’s spell it together a-n-d,
and. Let’s find one more word. Can you find the word the? Did you find
it? Great! Remember the is spelled t-h-e, let’s spell it together t-h-

Please take out the blue paper. We are going to read the poem Hickory
Dickory Dock.
This is a silly poem that has lots of rhyming words. Point to the

title at the top of the page. It is the words that are in bigger
letters and look darker.

Read this title with me. Hickory, Dickory Dock.

Now put your finger on the green dot and we will read the poem
together.
Hickory Dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down,
Hickory Dickory dock.

Great job following along with me.

Now lets try it again. This time we are going to read the words
together in small pieces.
I will say a small piece and then you can repeat. Notice how I am
saying a few words together just like when we talk.

Hickory Dickory Dock
Now you say it. (Wait)
Good
The mouse ran up the clock
Your turn (wait)
The clock struck one
Your turn (wait)
The mouse ran down,
Your turn (wait)
Hickory Dickory Dock
Your turn (wait)

That was great. Try to remember when you are reading that your words
need to come together just like when you are talking.
