Read each section carefully and follow the instructions to complete the activities on onsets and rimes.

An onset is the initial consonant or consonant blend of a syllable (e.g., 'b' in 'bat', 'str' in 'string'). A rime is the vowel and any consonants that follow it (e.g., 'at' in 'bat', 'ing' in 'string'). Understanding onsets and rimes can help you decode new words and improve your reading fluency.

Write the onset and rime for each word.

1. Word: cat Onset: Rime:

2. Word: play Onset: Rime:

3. Word: desk Onset: Rime:

4. Word: bright Onset: Rime:

5. Word: chair Onset: Rime:

Choose the word that has the same rime as the bolded word.

1. **sing**

ring

song

sand

sit

Use the given rime to create three new words by adding different onsets.

1. Rime: -ake

2. Rime: -ight

Read each statement and determine if it is true or false.

1. The word 'ship' has the onset 'sh' and the rime 'ip'.

True

False

Write a short paragraph (3-5 sentences) using at least five words that share the same rime. Underline the words that share the rime.
