• Small basket
• Five to six items from around the house, such as:
  • Spoon
  • Marker
  • Pencil
  • Shell
  • Glue

Step 1: Fill a basket with five to six common household items.

Step 2: Tell your child you are going to say a word that rhymes with one of the things in the basket. It might be a real word or it might be a pretend word.

Step 3: Tell your child:

“Find something in the basket that rhymes with ‘barker.’�ĝ

When she finds the marker, you can say:

“You found it! ‘Barker/marker barker/marker.’ They sound the same at the end. They rhyme.”

Step 4: Continue to say rhyming words for the remaining items. Remember, the rhyming word doesn’t have to be a real word. Here are some examples:

• Toon/spoon
• Kensil/pencil
• Moo/glue

Give your child extra support by modeling. You might say:

“Find the toon/spoon. ‘Toon’ rhymes with ‘spoon.’�ĝ

Ask your child to think of another word that rhymes with the object. It can be a real word or a pretend word.
