I Love to Read a Mystery

This Rhyming worksheet features a playful poem titled “I Love to Read a Mystery” from the book The Elephant Repairman, which describes a meta-mystery about a missing mystery book. Students are tasked with completing the poem by filling in blank spaces with rhyming words from a provided list that all share the same “ook” sound.

This activity enhances phonetic awareness, reinforces understanding of rhyme schemes, and promotes reading comprehension. The clever theme of a mystery within a mystery makes it particularly engaging for grades 2-4, while also encouraging students to think about word patterns and sound families in an entertaining context.
