Which Words Rhyme?

Words that rhyme are words that sound the same at the end.

Cat and sat sound similar. They don't start with the same sound, but they end with the same sound.

There once was a cat that ate a rat, and after that sat on a yellow mat
.




Ball and fall rhyme. They end with the same sound - and with the same letters.

If you drop the ball it will fall on the doll.

Doll isn't spelled the same as ball and fall, but it sounds the same. Sometimes rhyming words aren't spelled the same.


Here are some more examples of words that sound the same but aren't spelled the same.



RIGHT, KITE, HEIGHT
To your right,
you'll see a kite,
at a most incredible height.

OWL, TOWEL, GROWL
The big bear began to growl
when the little owl
used his towel

BORE, FOUR, ROAR
The boy of four
called the circus a bore
until he heard the lions roar....


ROCK, CHALK, HAWK
The lovesick hawk,
who found some chalk,
wrote his sweetheart's name
upon a rock....
