Week 21, lesson 2 Rhyme Match activity - Phonics Phase 5 , unit 3 - Worksheet

In the second day of Week 21, students are presented with a Rhyme Match activity from the Phonics Phase 5, Unit 3 worksheet. This engaging task is designed to help young learners recognise and match rhyming words, an essential skill in phonics development. The activity challenges students to pair words that rhyme, regardless of whether their spelling is similar or not. For example, they would need to find the rhyming pair among words like 'new' and 'drew', which, despite their different spellings, end with the same sound.

The worksheet provides a list of words that students must carefully consider to identify rhyming pairs. Words such as 'mood' and 'soup' may not look alike, but students must listen for the rhyme in their pronunciation to make a match. Other pairs to be matched include 'loop' with 'fuel' and 'cool' with 'rude'. This activity not only reinforces phonemic awareness but also encourages children to pay close attention to the sounds within words, an important step in their reading and spelling journey.
