Foundation English Rhyming Words Phonological Awareness Ac9Efly09 Colour

About this worksheet

This Foundation Phonics resource builds phonological awareness by helping children hear and identify words that rhyme. Rhyming practice helps children notice sound patterns in spoken language.

Learning intention

I can hear and identify words that have the same ending sound.

Skills practised

• Listening for sound patterns
• Recognising rhyming words
• Phonological awareness
• Oral vocabulary development

How to use it

Say each word aloud before the child chooses an answer. Compare the ending sounds and keep the activity oral before moving to the printed task.

Teacher note

Encourage students to explain why two words rhyme. The focus is on hearing matching sound patterns, not spelling.

Parent tip

Play a quick rhyming game using everyday words. Say a word and invite your child to think of another word that rhymes.
