3 RHYMING WORDS Parent Pointer Rhyming words are words that end with the same sound. For example, clown and down are rhyming words because they end with the same sound. Do and you also rhyme because they end with the same sound. Learning to hear, identify, and match rhyming words is important as your child begins to read and write. Reading in the Home, on the Go, and for the Fun of It DIRECTIONS: Talk about the definition of rhyming words with your child. It is important that he or she recognizes that they are words that end with the same sound. Say the following rhyming pairs to your child: bag, rag; pack, back. Then have him or her say another word that rhymes with each pair. Read the Star Light, Star Bright rhyme to your child. Tell him or her to listen for words that rhyme as you read. Then read aloud the directions below the rhyme. Have your child complete each direction. Read the directions to your child on the Rhyme Time page. Have him or her complete the directions. Then have fun playing the Rhyme Time game. (Note: You may wish to glue the word cards on cardboard from a food box to be more durable.) Talk about It After you have finished the activity, turn to The Back Page to have your child show what he or she knows. Now go have some fun with the activity!
