Rhyming words
Recognise and produce rhyming words; join in with predictable phrases and rhymes in stories and poems; learn to appreciate and recite poems by heart
What a learner can do afterwards
- Identify which words rhyme from a set (e.g. cat, bat, dog)
- Generate a word that rhymes with a given target
- Join in with repeated refrains and rhyming patterns during shared reading
The lesson
Rhyming words are words that sound the same at the end. Cat and hat rhyme. Cat and dog do not.
Try it together
Ben reads a poem. He hears cat and mat in the poem. Cat and mat rhyme, so the poem sounds fun.
Good to know
Listen for words that sound the same at the end. Try to guess the next rhyming word before it comes.
Rhyming words end with the same sound, like cat and hat.
