Blue shoe, cake snake. Choose a pair and make a new playful line.
How to run Stage 1
Confirm the observable outcome in child-friendly language and offer a safe fictional option.
2. Build useful language
Choose a few useful chunks for the meaning you need; do not memorise a long script.
star / car
blue / shoe
cake / snake
___ rhymes with ___.
They end with the same sound.
How to run Stage 2
Use the visual and first audio for meaning before explaining language.
3. Practise with support
Use pictures, movement, or short notes while the teacher checks meaning and participation.
- Listen before looking at the spelling.
- Stretch only the final sound pattern, not every letter.
- Check a new pair by saying both words naturally.
How to run Stage 3
Choose only the language chunks this learner needs and model with gesture or pictures.
4. Complete the challenge
Use English to solve, create, choose, or communicate—not just to repeat the model.
Solve four rhyme cases from original Engduo audio. Sort picture clues, find the odd word, and invent one new pair for a class rhyme wall.
How to run Stage 4
Run one short supported rehearsal; keep correction light while meaning is developing.
5. Show what you can do
Complete the task with less support, receive one focused correction, and try the weakest part again.
Identify six of eight rhyme pairs from audio and say an original two-line non-song chant.
Retry: Repeat once with clearer meaning, listening, pronunciation, or organisation.
How to run Stage 5
Run the main task: Solve four rhyme cases from original Engduo audio. Sort picture clues, find the odd word, and invent one new pair for a class rhyme wall.
Exit check
Complete this without reading a model: Identify three rhyming pairs and produce one new accurate pair.
Success looks like: The learner judges rhyme by the ending sound and can say the pair understandably.
Evidence: mixed · Repeat the weakest part once after one meaning-focused and one language-focused prompt at most.
LIST · Listening Comprehension
2: Understands and uses the required spoken evidence accurately.
1: Demonstrates the skill after one focused prompt, correction or self-repair.
0: Cannot yet demonstrate the skill clearly enough to complete the stated outcome.
PRON · Pronunciation
2: Remains intelligible with useful sounds, stress, rhythm or intonation.
1: Demonstrates the skill after one focused prompt, correction or self-repair.
0: Cannot yet demonstrate the skill clearly enough to complete the stated outcome.
VR · Vocabulary Resource
2: Uses suitable target vocabulary naturally in an original message.
1: Demonstrates the skill after one focused prompt, correction or self-repair.
0: Cannot yet demonstrate the skill clearly enough to complete the stated outcome.
Use these scores after the independent attempt. Record one recurring need in the Engduo app when lesson-result fields become available.
How to run Stage 6
Record evidence, give one focused correction, repeat the weakest part, and celebrate the specific improvement.

Teacher guide
30-minute must-do route
- Confirm the observable outcome in child-friendly language and offer a safe fictional option.
- Use the visual and first audio for meaning before explaining language.
- Choose only the language chunks this learner needs and model with gesture or pictures.
- Run one short supported rehearsal; keep correction light while meaning is developing.
- Run the main task: Solve four rhyme cases from original Engduo audio. Sort picture clues, find the odd word, and invent one new pair for a class rhyme wall.
- Record evidence, give one focused correction, repeat the weakest part, and celebrate the specific improvement.
60-minute extension
- Include a spelling distractor and create a two-line original rhyme.
- Change the picture, role, information, or constraint so the learner transfers the skill rather than reciting.
- Compare the first and second attempt with one simple learner-friendly progress statement.
Make it easier
Use two picture choices for each spoken word.
Make it harder
Include a spelling distractor and create a two-line original rhyme.
Likely difficulty
The learner may match words by first letter or spelling shape.
Correction priority
Prioritise auditory matching and natural production of the final sound pattern.
Thai support rule
Keep the Thai panel closed unless pictures, gestures, replay, examples, and simpler English do not allow progress. Explain only the key distinction, then return to English.
Progress record
Score LIST, PRON, VR from 0–2 and record one recurring need from: sound-patterns, auditory-matching, creative-language.
Retry
Give one meaning-focused correction and one language-focused correction at most, then ask for a short second attempt. Use fictional alternatives, never require personal disclosure, do not publish learner work or recordings without the organisation’s appropriate consent process, and adapt movement or sensory demands.
