Description
The Finding Rhyming Words Worksheet asks a first grader to hear the ending sound in a written word. Rhyming is the doorway skill of phonics: a child who notices that cake and lake end alike can swap a first letter and read a whole family of words at once. This page uses long vowel patterns, the families early readers meet as soon as the silent e appears.
The printable works in two passes. In Part A the child reads five short clues and draws a line from each word to the rhyme family it belongs to, so the rhyme has to be heard in the head rather than spotted in a picture. In Part B a fresh partner word is given for each family, and this time the child writes the whole word out. Every example in Part B is new, so neither part hands the other one its answer. Print it for a phonics center, morning work, or homework, and use the answer key on the last page to check it in seconds.
What’s Included
- One printable worksheet page plus a complete answer key page
- Five long vowel rhyme families: bone, cake, cute, feet and pine
- Part A: five rhyme clues with a wide line-drawing gutter
- Part B: five sentences to finish, with roomy writing lines
- Large first grade print and one full width line for every answer
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Hearing a rhyme is the first step toward reading by pattern instead of letter by letter.
- Part A is reading and Part B is writing, so the same five words are practiced two ways.
- The five families do not overlap, so every item has exactly one answer and no guessing works.
Teacher and Parent Ideas
Say each pair out loud before writing anything, and clap the ending sound the two words share. Cover the clues and ask the child to add a third word to each family. Keep the Finding Rhyming Words Worksheet with a rhyme chart so new families can be added all year. This kindergarten rhyming worksheet also pairs well with a nursery rhyme read aloud, a rhyming picture book, or a quick rhyme game in the car.
