Recognizing rhyming words is essential for success with phonics and spelling. Create this pocket-size flipbook that grows right along with your vocabulary!
1.
Why do words rhyme? In English, if words share the same endings, they rhyme. (Technically speaking, <EM>ending</EM> means a stressed vowel phoneme, subsequent consonant, or final unstressed vowel.) You can probably think of lots of rhyming words!
2.
With Crayola® Gel Markers, write a common rhyming ending syllable on the right half of a colorful index card. You might start with –at or -ine.
3.
Cut several index cards in half with Crayola Scissors. On each half, write a letter or letters that connects with the ending letters you wrote on your first card to form a word. If you wrote –ine, for example, you might write word beginnings such as m-, p-, or fel-.
4.
Punch holes in the same place on the left side of all cards. Secure the halves on top of the bottom card with a brass paper fastener.
5.
Flip through your book to find rhyming words. When you think of other words that have the same ending letters, fill in a half card. Watch your flipbook grow wherever you go!
