Learning How to Rhyme
Learning how to rhyme is a vital part of learning to read AND spell. But learning to rhyme doesn’t happen overnight. Learners must first be able to recognize rhyming words when they hear them before they are ready to create the rhymes themselves.
The first place I always start with rhyming words is reading and singing. Reading books that rhyme is a great way to show young learners how we can manipulate sounds and play with words. Singing silly rhyming songs or even adding a little rhyme to your routine is another fantastic way to play with rhymes.
If you’re looking for rhyming books, be sure to check out my two book lists: Rhyming Books for Kids and Rhyming Books that You Can SING! I also have a Rhyming Books & Poetry for Older Readers.
Rhyming Wheels – I Can Rhyme!
Some learners really struggle just to recognize rhyming words. This can happen even after the preschool years, especially if learners are English Language Learners or have another language learning differences, like dyslexia.
The purpose of these rhyming wheels is to take all the guessing out of rhyming for these kinds of learners.
Because ALL the words rhyme on each wheel, learners will make a rhyme every time! Just by saying the words such as bell, yell, shell, well, fell, learners are hearing the rhyming words spoken. Say them out loud and have learners repeat after you.
Be sure that your learners know what each picture represents {there’s a picture key included in the download}. The purpose is to practice rhyming; not to play a guessing game on what all the images are.
Add clothes pins to the activity to work in some fine motor skills, too. Learners just clip the pictures as they say the rhyming words. SO simple!
There are 20 FREE rhyming wheels included {in color AND blackline}.
