Quick answer for teachers
AC9E1LE04 asks Year 1 students to listen to and discuss poems, chants, rhymes and songs, then imitate and invent sound patterns such as rhyme and alliteration. A strong lesson therefore combines listening, noticing repeated sounds, guided oral practice and a short student-created example.

Learning intention
Students listen to and discuss poems, chants, rhymes and songs, then imitate and invent simple sound patterns.
Success criteria
- I can hear words that rhyme.
- I can notice repeated beginning sounds.
- I can join in with a chant or rhyme.
- I can invent a short rhyming or alliterative line.
20–30 minute lesson sequence
- Warm-up: read or perform a short rhyme and ask students what sounds repeat.
- Explicit teaching: model rhyme and alliteration with two simple examples.
- Guided practice: students identify matching end sounds and repeated first sounds.
- Create: pairs invent one rhyming line or short alliterative phrase.
- Exit check: each student explains which sound pattern they used.
Assessment evidence
Look for accurate identification of rhyme or alliteration and a student-created example that follows the same sound pattern.
Why this matches AC9E1LE04
The lesson directly covers listening to and discussing literary sound patterns, then moves students from recognising examples to imitating and inventing their own. That sequence keeps the activity tightly aligned to the curriculum rather than treating rhyme as an isolated worksheet skill.
