R The Rhino Day

Since R the Rhino uses roller skates as he races in the Amazing Action Alphabet Flip Chart story, I like to use the theme RACE CARS and other types of TRANSPORTATION when talking about 

the letter R.

This is a perfect time to use that well-used song "Wheels On The Bus"!

For younger children I change the words to talk about animals...

The OWL on the bus goes whoo whoo whoooo,

whoo, whoo, whoooo,

whoo, whoo, whoooo.

The OWL on the bus goes whoo whoo whoooo

All through the town!

Try CAT

The CAT on the bus goes meow meow meow,

meow, meow, meow,

meow, meow, meow.

The CAT on the bus goes meow, meow, meow.

All through the town!

Now try a Dog that goes bark, or a Pig that goes oink...oh the possibilities!

Older children can review letter names and sounds in the same way...

The S on the bus goes /s/ /s/ /s/

/s/ /s/ /s/,

/s/ /s/ /s/.

The S on the bus goes /s/ /s/ /s/

All through the town!
