58 Rhyme Match

Noelle Hale

Strategy Overview

  • Students will be provided a set of cards, each card has a simple picture on it, students will identify the object on the card. Each card has a matching card with an object whose name rhymes with it. Students will pair the cards that      rhyme together.
  • Phonological awareness is the ability to identify speech sounds (Lesaux & Carr, n.d., p. 3). This activity helps identify similar sounds as well as differences in beginning sounds that differentiates words with the same endings from each other.

Strategy in Action

I would create a set of cards (ball, tall, cat, bat, dog, frog, fox, box, etc.) with a picture of each object. In a small group for students who need extra rhyming practice, we would first identify all of the objects on the cards so that all students are pulling from the same mental word bank. Then I would instruct students to pair cards together that rhyme. I would state that words that rhyme have the same middle and ending sounds but differ in their beginning sounds. I would give students a few minutes to make their matches. While they are matching, if any students are struggling with remembering an object I will go over it with them individually. After all students have been provided an appropriate amount of time, we will go through the cards to ensure student accurately paired their cards together.
