Fascinating Fact:

Rhyming words help spot sounds, because if sock fits with rock and clock, the vowel sound is working hard.

In KS1 English, children listen for words that end the same. Spotting rhymes builds phonics skills, helps with spelling patterns, and makes poems and stories more memorable and fun to read.

  • Rhyme: Words that share the same ending sound, like sock, rock and clock.
  • Word family: A group of words with the same ending pattern, such as -ock in lock, clock and shock.
  • Phoneme: The smallest unit of sound in a word, like /s/, /o/ or /k/ in sock.
What are rhyming words in KS1 phonics?

In KS1 phonics, rhyming words are words that end with the same sound, such as cat, hat and mat. Children use them to hear patterns and build early reading skills.

How can I help my child recognise rhyming words?

Read rhyming stories, pause before the last word and let your child guess it, play matching games, and sort words into sets like -ock, -at or -ing.

Why are rhyming activities important in KS1?

Rhyming activities train children to listen carefully to sounds. This makes it easier to decode new words, remember spellings and enjoy poetry and songs.
