a wall.” Ask students to listen for your mixed-up beginning sounds and fix the
word when they catch a mistake. - Recite any of the following poems providing the beginning sound of the names
of participating students when you get to the point where a student name
can be inserted. For example: “Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day.
Little /b/ wants to play.” Students identify the student name that begins with

verses.- Rain, Rain, Go Away (P/S/NR Resource 23)
