This is not a lesson plan, but rather a simple idea to teach the proper spelling of the word “rhythm.”

First point out that “rhythm” has 2 syllables and that “h” lives right in the middle of each syllable.

Then teach the chant:

R-H-Y	ee q
T-H-M	ee q
That’s how we spell	ee ee
Rhy-thm!	q q

The rhythm of the chant is this (e=eighth note, q=quarter note):

Pretty simple, huh? Now there is no excuse for NOT spelling it correctly!
