Onomatopoeia
Resource Materials:
Wong, Janet S. Buzz. Illus. Margaret Chodos-Irvine.
Discussion:
Onomatopoeia is a word that young children would not understand, but they have the basic knowledge of items that have the same sound. After reading Buzz by Janet Wong to a classroom of kindergarten or first graders it would be easier for them to understand that many items make the same sound.
How to teach it:
One way to teach onomatopoeia to young children is to have them listen for items around the house that make the same sound. Perhaps one way to lead this lesson is to have a classroom discussion using the word “bang”, for example. The teacher could list what the students are verbalizing during the discussion on the board and then have the students draw some of the items that “bang”.
