Learning objectives

Distinguish similar ending sounds from similar spelling.
Identify a genuine rhyme among picture labels.

Concepts and principles

Rhyming words share the final stressed vowel sound and subsequent sounds, not necessarily identical written endings.
English spellings can mislead: “blue” and “shoe” rhyme despite different letters.

Examples and worked solutions

Which pair rhymes: cat and hat, or cat and car?: Worked solution: Cat and hat rhyme because their final /æt/ sound matches.

Try this activity

Name both pictured objects aloud before selecting a pair.
Compare their ending sounds, rather than their starting letters or subject matter.

Expected observations and explanations

Pictures alone may require identifying the intended word before its pronunciation can be compared.

Assessment questions and answers

Can two words rhyme even when their endings are spelled differently?: Answer: Yes; blue and shoe are one example.
