What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students listen to a spoken word and say another word with the same ending sound. They may use familiar words or made-up words.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student hears a word and quickly says a word with the same ending sound. The student can produce both real and made-up rhyming words.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may match the first sound, such as sun with sock. They may also name a related word, such as dog with cat, instead of matching ending sounds.
How to Assess It
- Say, "Tell me one word that rhymes with cake and one word that rhymes with log." Accept real or made-up words with matching ending sounds.
