These engaging worksheets focus on developing early literacy skills by identifying rhyming words through a fun and interactive colouring activity. Designed to align with foundational language outcomes, this resource helps students build phonological awareness, a critical precursor to reading fluency.

How to Complete:

1. Look at the focus image in the first box of each row and say the word represented by the picture aloud.
2. Identify which words rhyme with the focus image.
3. Colour the rhyming images in the same row. Leave non-rhyming words uncoloured.
4. Repeat the process for all rows, encouraging discussion about the rhymes.

Additional Tips:

1. Before using the worksheets, review rhyming pairs, such as cat-hat, dog-log and hen-pen. Use songs or rhyming books to introduce the concept.
2. Ask students to say all words aloud before deciding if they rhyme, helping them hear and identify the matching ending sounds.

Extension Ideas:

1. Create a Rhyming Wall: After completing the worksheets, students can brainstorm additional words that rhyme with the focus images and display them in the classroom.
2. Interactive Games: Pair students to play a rhyming memory game or match rhyming flashcards to reinforce the skill.
3. Art Integration: Ask students to draw and colour their own rhyming images for new focus words.

This activity is perfect for literacy centres, small groups, or independent practice.
