Words that sound the same at the end
Rhyming words sound the same at the end — cat and hat, bee and tree. Hearing rhymes is an early reading skill that tunes children’s ears to the sounds inside words. The common trap is matching beginnings instead of endings.
How to use it
Have your child say all the words out loud and listen to how they end. The two that sound the same at the end rhyme. Pairs with beginning sounds and leads into CVC words.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Rhyming words sound the same at the end (cat / hat). Say all the words aloud and compare endings, not beginnings.
🏠 Parent note
Say the words out loud. Rhyming words sound the same at the end, like cat and hat.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Choosing a word that starts the same instead of ends the same
- Not saying the words aloud to compare endings
