These kindergarten phonics worksheets are good for first graders, too, or any early learner who needs practice identifying rhyming words.
The first page features words with short vowel sounds. The second one contains words with long vowel sounds. The formats are different on each page. Use the links to get your printable pages.
To complete this activity students will say the name of the first picture in each row, trace the word, find another picture in the same row that rhymes with the first picture, and then color all the pictures. This is FUN phonics practice!
Teaching tip: Be sure to include a variety of experiences for your early learners. Phonics can best be learned through hearing, reading and writing. Teach words in context, and use new words over and over again. Use oral lessons, books, worksheets and games.
