Rhyme Time for Ages 8-10

Which word sounds the same at the end?

Rhyme Time gives the child a word and a set of choices, and asks which one rhymes with it. Hearing that cat and hat end the same way is one of the strongest early predictors of later reading ability, and it is a listening skill rather than a reading one, so children can play this before they can read the words.

The 8-10 level includes rhymes that do not share a spelling pattern, which forces the child to judge by sound rather than by how the word looks.

What it teaches

• Phonological awareness, hearing sounds inside words
• Recognising rhyme families
• Listening carefully and comparing word endings
• Vocabulary through pictures

How to play

1. Look at the word at the top and say it out loud.
2. Say each of the choices out loud too.
3. Tap the one that sounds the same at the end.
4. Saying them aloud genuinely helps. Rhyme is heard, not seen.
