Rhyming Words and Word Families

Have you ever noticed that some words sound alike at the end? Cat and hat both end in /-at/. Hop and top both end in /-op/. Words that share the same ending sound are called rhyming words — and groups of them form a word family!

What this lesson teaches

1Identify rhyming words by hearing that they share the same ending sound
2Group words into word families that share the same vowel-consonant ending
3Use a known word family to read new words by swapping the onset
