This section of the website is designed to support individuals in developing phonological awareness through interactive and engaging rhyming exercises. Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate the sounds of spoken language, an essential skill for learning to read and write. Rhyming, one of the earliest and most accessible areas of phonological awareness, helps individuals identify sound patterns, particularly at the ends of words. For children, it builds a foundation for understanding how words are made up of sounds, while for adults, including those recovering from speech challenges, it aids in regaining awareness of sound patterns and speech production.
I have created a series of 20 interactive exercises in this first section, incorporating both pictures and sounds. In each exercise, the user will see an image representing a word, such as 'hoot.' When clicked, the word 'hoot' is pronounced aloud. Below the image, three additional pictures are displayed—like 'coot,' 'boot,' and 'meat'—each with a sound button to hear the word clearly. The task is to select the two pictures that rhyme with the presented word. This combination of pictures and sounds makes the exercises accessible and enjoyable for children, parents, and individuals working on speech recovery, improving memory, listening, and sound discrimination skills.
The second section will follow after this one is published, expanding the exercises further to continue building phonological awareness.
First Section part 1
Welcome to the first section of our interactive rhyming exercises. In this section, you will practice rhyming using both pictures and sounds to build your phonological awareness.
Objective:
Your task is to select two images that rhyme with the given word.
How to Play:
- Look at the Word: At the top of the screen, you will see a word (e.g., "dispute").
- Listen to the Word: Click on the image next to the word to hear how it sounds. This will help you understand the word’s pronunciation.
- Examine the Images: Below the word, you'll see several images. Each image represents an object or concept.
- Identify Rhymes:
- Rhyming words sound similar in their last part.
- For example, if the word is "dispute," you should look for words that share a similar ending sound, such as "flute" and "root."
- Don't worry about spelling! Focus on how the word sounds at the end.
- Select the Rhyming Images: Click on the images that rhyme with the given word.
- Check Your Selection: Once you’ve selected two images, click the Check button to see if you’ve chosen the correct rhymes.
