Fascinating Fact:

Rhyme matches end sounds in stressed syllables: light and night, turning and learning. It adds pattern and memory to poems and songs.

In 11 Plus English, rhyme helps readers predict sound patterns and remember lines. You will spot matching end sounds, label rhyme schemes, and compare how poets use rhyme for mood and emphasis.

  • Rhyme: Words sharing matching end sounds, usually from the stressed vowel to the end, like cake and rake.
  • Rhyme scheme: A pattern of rhymes at line endings, labelled with letters, for example ABAB or AABB.
  • Stressed syllable: The beat in a word that is said more strongly, which often controls how rhymes match.
What is rhyme in poetry for 11 Plus?

Rhyme is when words share the same end sounds, such as blue and true. It creates pattern, helps memory, and can make lines feel musical.

How do I find the rhyme scheme of a poem?

Read each line ending, label the first sound A, the next new sound B, and repeat letters for matches. For example, cat and hat both get A.

What is the difference between rhyme and rhythm?

Rhyme matches end sounds between words, while rhythm is the beat pattern in a line. A poem can use one, the other, or both together.
