What are Rhyming Words?
A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds (usually, exactly the same sound) in the final stressed syllables and any following syllables of two or more words. In other words, rhyming words are two or more words that don’t start with the same sound, but they end with the same sound (maybe with the same letters). Some examples of rhyming words are: cat, fat, bad, ad, add, sad, etc.
Poems and songs often use rhyming to create a rhythm or a repeated pattern of sound, and sometimes poems will also tell a story. By learning these words, students will increase their sentence building and creative writing skills.
Things to remember about the difference between rhyming words and homophones:
Rhyming words have different beginning sounds, but have the same vowel and ending sounds, for example: cat/sat/pat/hat, spin/fin/chin/pin, etc. Homophones are words that sound alike but have different meanings and spellings, for example: pain/pane, hi/high/, you/yew/ewe, there/their/they’re, to/too/two.
