Listen as someone reads aloud. Rhyming words share ending sounds, not necessarily the same letters. A poem's line breaks help group words and sounds.

Worked example

Day and play rhyme because their ending sounds match. Day and dog begin alike but do not rhyme.

A Bright Day

I greet the bright day. My small shadows play. A leaf leaves the tree. It lands beside me.
