About this game
Rhyme Pairs mixes a memory game with rhyming, one of the strongest predictors of early reading success. Instead of finding two identical pictures, your child looks for two pictures whose names rhyme, such as cat and hat, or moon and spoon. Saying the names out loud is part of the fun, so encourage your child to say each word as a card turns over. When two cards do not rhyme, they flip back and your child can try again with no penalty. Children who hear rhymes easily find it easier to spot patterns in spelling later. Keep the rhyming going at bedtime with favorite rhyming books.
Questions parents ask
Why does rhyming matter?
Rhyming helps children hear the sounds inside words, which makes learning to read and spell easier.
Do the cards show words?
The cards show pictures. Children say the names out loud to hear which ones rhyme.
