The 'Things I Like' poem targets the essential kindergarten sight word 'like,' which appears consistently at the beginning of each line. This carefully crafted poem aligns with Common Core Standard RF.K.3.C, focusing on high-frequency word recognition that kindergarten students need to master. From a first-person perspective, the poem explores a child's favorite activities and objects, creating an engaging and relatable reading experience. The repeated structure 'I like to...' and 'I like my...' helps young readers anticipate text patterns while reinforcing the sight word through meaningful repetition. Phonemic awareness skills (RF.K.2) are developed through multiple rhyming pairs (play/day, you/blue) that allow children to identify similar ending sounds. The accompanying assessment questions target both sight word recognition and phonemic awareness, measuring students' ability to count word occurrences and identify rhyming words. Kindergarten teachers can use this sight word poem during shared reading, guided reading sessions, or as part of literacy center activities to build reading fluency and comprehension.
