Fascinating Fact:

Eye rhyme looks the same but sounds different, love and move look similar yet they do not rhyme when spoken.

In KS3 English, you study how rhyme supports rhythm, structure, and mood. You will compare perfect, half, and eye rhymes, and map rhyme schemes to see how poets organise sound.

Key Terms

Rhyme: Words that share the same end sounds, usually from the last stressed vowel onward.
Rhyme scheme: The pattern of end rhymes in a poem, labelled with letters like ABAB or AABB.
Eye rhyme: Words that look as if they rhyme because of spelling but do not sound the same when spoken.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is a rhyme scheme in poetry?

A rhyme scheme is the pattern of end sounds at the ends of lines, shown with letters. For example, ABAB alternates two rhymes, while AABB pairs two couplets.

What is the difference between full rhyme and half rhyme?

Full rhyme matches the final stressed vowel and sounds after it, like cat and hat. Half rhyme matches only some sounds, often the consonants, such as shape and keep.

How can I find rhymes when spelling is confusing?

Listen to the words rather than looking at letters. Say them aloud and compare their end sounds. Focus on sound families and ignore silent letters or tricky spellings.
