Teach your young learners to recognize short vowel words that rhyme! Recognizing words that rhyme helps young learners read and spell similar words in that word family. Begin with this short vowel rhyming game to introduce students to fundamental rhyming patterns that can later be built upon by learning about long vowel rhyming words. Get started with this interactive drag-and-drop game to make rhyming fun!
How does the rhyming game work?
The word bank gives options for students to choose from, and they’ll decide which words rhyme with the example given on the right side of the screen. Students will drag and drop the words that correctly rhyme to practice their skills.
