TEACHING TIPS
- Use word families or CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant) to ensure clear and distinct rhyming patterns.
- Reinforce the concept that rhyming words have the same ending sound, even if they have different spellings.
- Provide opportunities for students to practice identifying rhyming words without pictures to build a solid understanding of the concept.

STUDENT MISCONCEPTIONS
- Confusing similar sounding words that do not actually rhyme, leading to incorrect matches.
- Assuming that a word and picture must have the exact same spelling to be a match.
