#1/Monday, Phonemic Awareness Podcast: Rhyming Words   One fun way to build your students’ phonemic awareness is to read books with strong rhyming patterns. Words that rhyme are words that have the same sounds from the final vowel (a, e, i, o, or u) on. Actually, those are considered perfect rhymes. If you listen to music in most any genre, you recognize that many lyricists also use imperfect rhymes, where the words are “close” to rhyming, but the sounds aren’t exactly the same.   In this lesson, we’re going to think about perfect rhymes.   There are lots of games for you to play throughout the upcoming days to promote your students’ sense of rhyme. I suggest that you read at least one rhyming book a day.   Also, Dr. Seuss and other authors use crazy, made-up words to make rhymes, and you can, too! We don’t want all the words to be nonsense words, but certainly some of them can be. It’s fun!   Make it your diligent aim to engage in one of these Building Block Activities, each day:  https://bookbums.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/On-Your-Way-Monday-PA-podcast-bits.pdf  For more information and podcasts www.bookbums.com/podcast
