Rhyme Time

What your child will figure out

• Hear and identify the shared ending sound in a spoken rhyming pair.
• Match pictures and printed words that rhyme, such as cat and hat.
• Pick a rhyming word from several choices and explain that the ending sounds match.
• Transfer rhyme-family knowledge by finding an odd word whose ending sound does not belong.

The levels

1. Hear the ending

   Predict and hear that cat and hat share the same ending sound.

2. Match the pictures

   Match bee with tree and observe that pictures with different meanings can rhyme.

3. Pick Pip's rhyme

   Pick run as a rhyme for sun, then explain that the ending sound is the clue.

4. Odd-one-out transfer

   Transfer rhyme-family knowledge by separating log from the novel fox and box pair.
