Phonics #10

Summary: The onset is the consonant letters the preceed the vowel in a syllable. The rime consists of a vowel phoneme and final consonant(s) in the syllable. Rime is different from rhyme which is the correspondence of sound between words at the end of the word.

Before doing the activities to decipher between rime and rhyme, I had difficulty distinguishing a difference. However, I am much more confident now understanding the difference. A rhyme has to do with sound, where the rime has to do with the spelling at the end of a word.
