Onsets and Rimes- What are they?
In school-language, onsets and rimes make up a big part of many words. Children are taught to use onsets and rimes as they begin to learn to read and write small words. Below you'll see what they are and just how simple they are to teach. If you are home schooling your children or just supplementing their kindergarten, first, or second grade instruction, you'll find these to be quite valuable. Check it out!
Onsets and Rimes
Working with onsets and rimes allows children to learn to break words apart and put them back together. It also shows them how to substitute different onsets and rimes to make new words. This is a great way to teach word families and help them to see patterns within words. For example, in the word “dog”, the consonant “d” is the onset and “og” is the rime. You can then make word tiles containing various onsets (consonants) and different rimes so that your children can learn to manipulate the sounds to form new words. Below is a list of some of the common rimes you would use with early readers. See if you can come up with some of your own!
