Making Rhymes: Can You Think of a Rhyme?
Practice creating your own rhyming words.
🎯 What You'll Learn
You will learn to make up your own rhyming words — this is a superpower for reading!
🌟 Let's Start
Adaeze loves making up silly rhymes. She says: "I have a cat, it sat on a mat, wearing a hat!" Cat, mat, hat — they all rhyme with -at. Now Adaeze wants you to try making your own rhymes. It is easier than you think!
📚 New Concept
To make a rhyme, keep the ending sound and change the beginning sound. Watch:
Start with -at:
- Put /b/ in front: bat
- Put /k/ in front: cat
- Put /f/ in front: fat
- Put /h/ in front: hat
- Put /m/ in front: mat
- Put /r/ in front: rat
- Put /s/ in front: sat
You just made SEVEN rhyming words!
Start with -an: man, pan, ran, fan, van — five more rhyming words!
More rhyme families: -ig (big, dig, fig, pig, wig), -op (hop, mop, pop, top), -ug (bug, hug, mug, rug, tug).
