πŸ“– Quick Study Guide: Rhyme & Rhyme Scheme for 3rd Grade

  • πŸ—£οΈ Rhyme: When two words sound alike at the end. Think of "cat" and "hat," or "bear" and "share." They don't have to be spelled the same, just sound similar!
  • πŸ‘‚ Rhyming Words: These are the words that make the rhyme! We often find them at the end of lines in a poem.
  • πŸ“ Rhyme Scheme: This is the pattern of rhymes in a poem. We use letters (like A, B, C) to show which lines rhyme.
  • 🌟 How to Find a Rhyme Scheme: Give the first line an "A." If the next line rhymes with "A," it also gets an "A." If it doesn't rhyme, give it a "B." If the next line rhymes with "B," it gets a "B," and so on!
  • πŸ’‘ Example:
    The cat sat on the mat. (A)
    It was a fat cat. (A)
    The dog ran by. (B)
    It started to cry. (B)
    The rhyme scheme here is AABB.
