Unit 11
Speaking and listening 1 Listen to your teacher read this poem. Then read it yourself. My Dog Rags
I have a dog, his name is Rags; He eats so much his tummy sags, His ears flip flop his tail wig wags And when he walks, he walks zig zag. He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag; He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag; He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag; I love Rags and he loves me!
verse 1
verse 2
My dog Rags he loves to play, He rolls around in mud all day. I whistle, he won’t obey, He always runs the other way.
verse 3
Repeat verse 2.

• Read the poem aloud, then have pupils read it with you. • Parts of the poem can be used to check phonological awareness, e.g. by isolating beginning and final sounds, blending phonemes in single-syllable words or substituting one phoneme for another to make a new word. • Extension: Ask pupils, What is your favourite animal? How does it move? Invite children to act out the movements of different animals.
