Georgia K.F.PA.1

K.F.PA.1 is a Georgia English Language Arts standard. These are the expectations under it.

• K.F.PA.1.a

  Identify and pair words that rhyme in spoken language, distinguishing them from those that do not.

• K.F.PA.1.b

  Orally produce words that rhyme.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students listen for words that have the same ending sounds. They decide which words rhyme and say their own rhyming words, including playful made-up words.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can hear whether two spoken words end with the same sound pattern. The student can also supply a real or made-up word that rhymes with a given word.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may match words by first sound instead of ending sound. They may also choose words that share a spelling pattern but do not sound alike, or offer a related word instead of a rhyming word.

04

How to Assess It

Say, “Which word sounds like cat at the end: sun, hat, or dog?” Then ask the student to say another word that rhymes with cat.

1. 01

   Give students picture cards to sort into rhyming pairs, such as cat and hat or log and frog.

2. 02

   Read a short rhyming poem aloud, pause before the final word, and ask students to predict a word that fits.

3. 03

   Play Rhyme Toss: say a word, toss a beanbag, and have the catcher say a rhyming word.

4. 04

   Make a class list of rhyming words found in songs, playground chants, and familiar names.
