These hands-on worksheets focus on enhancing students' phonological awareness by sorting and matching rhyming words. Designed as a cut and paste activity, this resource is an engaging way for students to practise making rhyming pairs.

How to Complete:

1. Cut out the pictures along the dotted lines.
2. Look at each focus image on the main worksheet and say the word represented by the picture aloud.
3. Identify which of the cut-out boxes rhyme with the focus images.
4. Once all pictures have been sorted and glued, say the rhyming pairs aloud.
5. Colour the pictures.

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 New Rhyming Pairs: Challenge students to draw or write additional rhyming pairs that are not on the worksheet.
2. Rhyming Word Hunt: Ask students to find objects in the classroom that rhyme with the words from the activity.

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