We read the book The Cat in the Hat and in our online version some words were bolded. All of those bolded words were rhymes!! 

Do you know what a rhyme is?

A rhyme is a word that sounds the same at the end.

Let's look at two words here:

hat and mat      

Hat and mat sound similar

-They end with the same sound 
-They do not start with the same sound

---

Rhyming words are found in a lot of sentences.

For example:

Easy: The pig is very big.

The words that rhyme are pig and big

Hard: There is a big pool in my school. That's pretty cool.

The words that rhyme are pool, school, and cool
              
  Important!!---Some ryhming words are not spelled the same.
Example: hair and care

---

Now let's look at some of the rhymes that were in our story more closely!!!!
