Rhyming Words Worksheet
- Kindergarten
- CCSS RF.K.2a
A free, printable rhyming words worksheet for kindergarten. Pictures make it work for kids who aren't reading yet: say each word out loud and your child circles the rhyme. Answer key included.
What's inside
- Page 1: circle the picture that rhymes for 6 words, then sort 6 pictures into two rhyming groups.
- Page 2: say a rhyme for 3 pictures (a grown-up writes it), then draw two things that rhyme.
- Page 3: answer key.
How to use it
- Teach or review the rule first with the rhyming words lesson. It takes about 10 minutes.
- Read the directions for each part out loud. Early readers can point while you read.
- Check Part A together before your child goes on, so any confusion gets fixed early.
- Use the answer key on the last page.
Prints on US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in). No sign-up needed.
Tips for doing it together
- Keep it short. One page a day is plenty for most young children, and two short sessions beat one long one.
- Let your child read each sentence out loud before answering. Many mistakes get caught by ear.
- Mark a mistake with a small dot instead of an X, and let your child find and fix it. That's where the learning happens.
What your child is practicing
Rhyming words end with the same sound. Kindergartners learn to hear and make rhymes, all out loud. Read each picture's word to your child; the words are printed small so you know which one is meant.
Practice online
After the worksheet, the 10-question rhyming words quiz gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud. For a game, try Feed Monty.
