Onset and Rime Activities

Onset and rime activities help children listen to and identify word parts. Children learn that changing the onset of a word changes the word.  These activities will also assist children in decoding new words.
Say the word for each picture: rat, flat, cat, mat, sat, and hat. Have children make these words by choosing the correct onsets.
