Rhyming Words for Kids (Complete List)
Many of us have fond memories of learning nursery rhymes and rhyming stories when we were children.
These tales are important because they expose children to rhyme, which is essential for language development. Children who have strong early language abilities, including listening and speaking, are shown to develop more robust reading and writing skills.
Helping your child recognize and use rhyme will help them first with their verbal language and then with their literacy. Introducing rhyming words for kids is an excellent way to do that.

How Do You Teach Rhyming Words To Children?
Children learn about rhyme in three stages, although there is much overlap as they move from one step to another.
Rhyme Exposure
This is when your child hears rhyming words. This can be in songs while reading rhyming together, or elsewhere. At this stage, you should point out rhyming words to your child.
Rhyme Recognition
Once your child hears a rhyme and points it out, they have reached the stage of rhyme recognition.
Rhyme Production
Finally, your child will be able to produce rhyme themselves. They may take great pride in asking you questions, such as, “Do you know what rhymes with door? More!”
While this may seem like a small thing to you, to them it’s big. Make sure to show them that you’re impressed with their newly-found knowledge.
Ways To Teach Rhyming Words
Make learning to rhyme fun by using some of these methods.
Share Rhyme In Books, Poems, And Songs
Reading rhyming books and poems and singing together will expose your child to rhymes in a fun, relaxing way. Read the complete story or sing the entire song first and then go back and point out the rhymes.
Then, when your child is aware of the concept of rhyming, ask them to point out the pairs of rhyming words they hear or read.
Once your child is familiar with rhymes, read or sing, but don’t say the second rhyming word. Instead, ask your child to provide a suitable rhyme.
Puzzles
Rhyme word puzzles are a fun way for your child to practice pairing up rhyming words.
Clip Cards
Not all rhyming words have the same spelling at the end. To prevent your child from becoming confused by the spelling, use peg cards where your child picks the correct rhyme according to the picture.
Lap Books
Create nursery rhyme lap-books with your child. First, print out the standard nursery rhyme and then have your child replace the original word with another of their own that rhymes.
Rhyming Dictionaries
Help your child find suitable rhyming words with a rhyming dictionary.
These can be immensely helpful no matter what age you are, especially if you are a teacher, writer, or write lyrics for songs.
Rhyming Words For Kindergarten
These are great options for those who are younger than kindergarten or those who are still working on completing that first year in school. These are simple words that won’t be too challenging for this age.

45 words with "reminders" that will be useful to schoolchildren and adults - Teacher's newspaper
No matter how you learn stress, you can still get confused at the most inopportune moment. We tried to speak correctly, but many around speak differently, and we begin to echo them. "Gramotator" has repeatedly addressed the topic of stress. But questions from our readers keep coming. And today we decided to offer a mini-dictionary of the most problematic nouns with rhymes for memorization. They will be useful both in life and on the exam. And as a daily cheat sheet, you can use our cards. nine0004
Noun stresses
The letter A
Asymmetry
The stress in this word falls on the last syllable.
The “asymmetry” familiar to many is wrong. Although some dictionaries provide such an option as the only or alternative, they are in the minority. And it is asymmetry that corresponds to a strict norm. Our rhyme will help you remember this.
Allergy occurs,
When there is asymmetry all around
Airport
The stress in all forms, except for the prepositional case, falls on -port-. In the prepositional case, the stress falls on the ending when we talk about the place (where) - at the airport, and on - the port when we talk about the airport. Let's learn " memory notes ", and we will never make a mistake.
Airport
Settled in comfort -
Satisfied with the airport.
At the airport (where, about the place)
How the liner is gaining altitude,
You will only see it at the airport.
About the airpoore (about which)
read news about sports,
And read - about the airpoore
Aero -reproaches (multiple)
We love resorts,
We hasten at aeropors.
Letter B
Bows
This is one of the few two-syllable nouns in which the stress in all forms and plural falls on the last syllable. Here, too, it is enough to remember the word "bow" and simply substitute endings for it, without changing anything. Well rhyme will help.
piping on the shirt,
bows on the head
Boutique
The word came from the French language, which means that the stress falls on the last syllable. The main thing to remember is that the stress will stand when changing the word in cases and in the plural. And rhymes will help to fix.
Light and shine -
Just chic
This brand new boutique
Boutique
Sign of the faceless
In a fashionable butter
Boutik
I was surprised by the 30005
Boutike
in Boutike
We will give a carpet
in a boutike 9000,0002
9000 Blueberries, lingonberries and strawberries
Do not sell beautiful fashion boutiques
Accountant
Directors, professors have long turned into directors and professors, shifting the emphasis to the ending.
But accountants are not one of those. The stress in this word is invariable and in all forms of the plural falls on the root. nine0005
A “Memill ” will help not to forget:
Accounts (multi -d.), Accounters
Good Harakters
have all accountants,
and bad harackers
have no accounting accountants.
Letter B
Widowhood
The stress in this word always falls only on the last syllable. It does not change with the declension of the noun.
Here you can not do without « memory sticks »:
Magic for Christmas
Widowhood instantly crumbled.
Religion
Despite the fact that many stubbornly say religion, the correct option is only religion. And nothing else. Let's remember the word "know", it will help to correctly place the stress. And you can also come up with rhyme, so as not to make a mistake.
I know - I don't know,
What I confess.
I don't know at all
Religion.
Ages
In the plural, as in "accountants", the stress in the word "age" remains unchanged, on the first syllable - ages. Saying and writing "age" is incorrect. And the classic will help to remember this:
All ages are submissive to love.
Download this flashcard to help you memorize difficult accents faster. And we go further - before us are the words with the letter "g".
Letter G
Rake
When the word “rake” is changed, the stress will not move anywhere - it will remain on the first syllable, whether we rejoice at the rake, work at the rake or think about the rake.
Rhyme will help you remember easily:
Hands are already cold -
How can we hold the rake?
Rake
Forehead covered with drops
From working with a rake.
Rake or rake
There is no rake in the barn,
I had to work with a saber.
Corrugated
Amazing word! Most pronounce it incorrectly, and the emphasis here falls not on the second, but on the third syllable - corrugated. By analogy with "pleated". So let's remember, and rhyme will help in this.
Pleated skirt,
A pleated bow.
Corrugated can be not only a bow, but also hair tongs, and a hose, and metal. However, the emphasis will not change. nine0005
Letter D
Door
When changing the word “door”, the accent almost always remains on the root. And only in one case - if we are talking about the door as a place - the emphasis will go to the ending.
To the door
At the door
But (hanging) on the door.
And it’s better to remember and not get confused, it will help rhyme about wild animals:
Wild animals came to the door -
They knew that crackers
The owner left them at the door.
Dispensary
The word is of French origin, and therefore the stress falls on the last syllable. The word "dispensary" does not correspond to the norm. Only the dispensary is correct. The stress will not change when the word is declined. And “ memorizer ”
Engineer says
The word is correct – dispensary.
Agreement and agreements
Frequently used “agreements and agreements” are strictly prohibited! Only contract and contracts. nine0005
Let's remember rhyme and we won't make mistakes:
Have a conversation with a lawyer,
To conclude an agreement.
But talking won't help
Making contracts.
Letter I
Icon painting
Surprisingly, the stress in this word falls on the first syllable. And, although from the word “icon” one really wants to say “icon painting”, this should not be done.
Rhyme :
Turned out today
What is right - iconography.
Game
The word, although old, is used in modern speech, including in a figurative sense. As in the previous word, the stress here falls only on the first syllable. No games allowed! And “ memorizer ”:
Came in a monster costume
To the school for a game.
Letter K
Catalog
Words ending in -log have different stresses. In the word catalog, as in the words dialogue, monologue, prologue, epilogue, the stress falls on the last syllable. There is no word catalog. nine0003 Rhyme will help you not to get confused.
We started a dialogue,
We are discussing the catalogue.
Containers
And somewhere, probably, there are containers, because that's what they say very often. However, the stress here is stable and in all forms of the word falls on the second syllable - containers.
It never carries over to the end.
Let's remember "accountants" and "ages" and just remember.
And again, our cheat sheet, which you can download and use to memorize difficult stresses. nine0005
The letter M
In a glimpse
Another difficult word, who says "briefly", and who says "briefly". Unfortunately for many, the second option is wrong. The stress in the word "glimpse" falls on the first syllable. There are no exceptions. You can come up with your own associations to remember, or you can learn our rhyme :
They write very small,
We caught a glimpse
Garbage chute
If we don't want to push garbage into the wires, then we shouldn't say garbage chute. Garbage can only be thrown into the garbage chute. The stress in this word falls on the last syllable. As in other "wires" - a gas pipeline, a pipeline, an oil pipeline.
And it will help to remember rhyme :
The whole rather big passage
The garbage chute occupied.
Letter H
Nakid
It would seem that this word should not cause difficulties. But it turned out that there is some professional slang - many knitters say nakid, throwing a loop on a knitting needle. However, there are no exceptions here. Only nakid is correct - in knitting and in other cases. "Memory" will help; nine0005
We are not very surprised:
In knitting, they make a crochet.
Intention
Where the word “intention” comes from is unknown, but it sneaks into our speech quite often. However, there is only intention. The stress in this word falls on the second syllable. The rhyme will help to remember, and to someone to get rid of incorrect pronunciation:
It is better to be more moderate
Talk about intentions.
Letter O
Provision
The stress in this word always falls on the third syllable - provision. And it doesn’t matter if we are talking about material support for someone, ensuring an obligation with something or ensuring someone’s safety. The stress will stand in any case. There is no word “providing”, which many dictionaries explicitly warn about.
A rhyme will help you remember this difficult word:
is marked in the dictionary
The word provision
Window - window
Do you remember the words of the song of the Lyube group: “... from the wide open windows ..”? Many will be surprised, but this is not the norm. In the genitive plural, the stress falls on the first syllable - windows. Not windows. Remember?
What is this cocoon
Do we see from the windows?
Letter П
Appeal
The stress in this word always falls on the second syllable.
It doesn't matter if it's a call to action or a call to the army. Often, when it comes to conscription for military service, you can hear the call. However, in the army, as well as for action, they are called. And there is no reason to change the stress in a word depending on the meaning. In all cases, the emphasis is the same - the call. A from rhyme easier!
The window is open,
We hear the call.
Pullover
Not a half-over, not a pullover, but only a pullover. Dictionaries do not provide other options. In order not to accidentally put on a half-belt, remember rhyme :
A beautiful motor scooter.
And a pullover in his color.
The letter P
Shell
Perhaps, checking the word "shell", some put the emphasis on the first syllable - shell. And what? A large shell, and a small shell. However, the word "shell" is not a test word for a shell.
And the stress in this word is placed on the second syllable - shell. And small, and large, and river, and sea. And to be remembered better, rhyme :
Beautiful toy
From a seashell.
Regent
The word has several meanings. This is both the temporary ruler and the conductor of the church choir. But the stress is one - on the first syllable. In M.A. Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita, the “regent” is quite common: this is how Koroviev called himself at the beginning of the work. “Now the regent put on his nose an obviously unnecessary pince-nez, in which one glass was missing at all, and the other was cracked.” If anyone doubted how to pronounce Koroviev's position, now he will be sure that he is regent. Well, in addition to the classics, our " memo ":
Likes to listen to reggae
Hora former regent
And this is the third card from the dictionary. Download it and we will not make mistakes in pronunciation.
Letter C
Symmetry
Remember the asymmetry? One might think that in the word "symmetry" the stress falls on the last syllable. The words are similar! But no, that would be too simple, so in the word "symmetry" the stress falls on the second syllable - symmetry. Here, as in the case of asymmetry, there are sometimes two options in dictionaries - symmetry and symmetry. But only the first one corresponds to a strict norm - symmetry. Remember with rhymes
Likes geometry,
So that there is symmetry.
Concentration
Concentration can often be heard. But let's imagine how something gathers at one point, and easily remember what is right - concentration. And if the dot does not help, then our rhyme will definitely do it:
The shutters are boarded up,
Silence is concentrated here
The insurer
For some unknown reason, this word is pronounced insurer.
Perhaps, by analogy with some professions in the -man: crane operator, shoemaker. However, none of the modern dictionaries records the word "insurer". There is only "insurer". The emphasis on "o" remains in the derivative words "insurer", "reinsurer".
And it’s easy to remember: remember the word insurance, the insurer also has an emphasis on the letter “o”. And you can also come up with rhyme :
Lviv trainers
Always go to the insurer.
Carpenter
The correct stress in this word is on the last syllable. The profession of carpenter does not exist, no matter how often one hears this word. It's like saying not a painter, but a painter. However, they don’t say that, but for some reason the carpenter took root. And in vain, it does not correspond to the norm. The painter will help remember :
We have a painter working,
But we really need a carpenter.
By the way, the correct plural is “carpenters”, not carpenters and not carpenters.
As, however, and painters.
Letter T
Cakes
Do you remember the word "bows"? "Cakes" from the same company. There are not many two-syllable words that have the stress on the first syllable. Cakes is one of them. The stress will remain unchanged when the word is declined. There are no cakes, not cakes, delicious cakes are welcome, but not cakes. When changing the word in the singular in cases, the stress will stand - there is no cake, I'm glad for the cake, I dream of a cake. A rhyme will help you remember:
We are going to resorts,
We can’t eat cakes,
We want to flaunt in shorts,
But they don’t get slim “on cakes”.
Transfer
Despite the common pronunciation “transfer”, it is correct to stress only the last syllable – transfer. And a "reminder":
Famous collector
Booked a transfer to the hotel.
Shoe
Contrary to popular belief, the stress here falls on the first syllable.
You can’t say “shoe” or “shoe”, only “shoe. And don't forget that the noun shoe is feminine.
Letter X
Petition
One of the annoying and often used options is petition. Let's spare the ears of those around us and never say that! Only intercession and intercession. And with rhyme is easier to remember. nine0005
Just a treat for the ear.
When they say "intercession".
Letter Ш
Scarf
And one more of the few two-syllable words in which the stress falls on the first syllable. We already know about bows and cakes, and now scarves have joined them. It's only right, not scarves. The stress will be preserved when the word is changed both in the singular and in the plural - scarves, scarf, scarf, scarves. Rhyme will help you remember.
We play harps
Scarves are uncomfortable.
Let's sit down to the harps,
Let's take off our scarves
Double (variable) accents in nouns
Good news.
No, in all words it is not yet possible to put stress on different syllables at will. But there are a lot of words with variable stress. Let's present some of them.
Apartments
It sounds amazing, but not so long ago only the pronunciation apartments was considered correct. And some dictionaries still fix this option as the only one. True, in some modern dictionaries you can see "apartment" as a colloquial option. But the majority still consider apartments and apartments to be equal. Both options are normal. nine0005
Bungalow
Until recently, only the bungalow was considered correct. Now, the stress depends on the choice of the speaker - both bungalow and bungalow correspond to the norm.
Croutons
As in the previous cases, only pronunciation - croutons was allowed before. And in the singular - toast had a masculine gender. Over time, croutons also appeared, and in the singular feminine toast.
Both words are normative, and the choice is yours. nine0005
College
You might be surprised, but many dictionaries list both college and college as equals. True, more conservative dictionaries adhere to the college option. We would also recommend not to stress the second syllable. But in this case there will be no error either.
Cooking
She stopped being only cookery a long time ago, having got herself a sister - cookery. Both cooking and cooking are recorded in dictionaries. nine0005
Pizzeria
Here you can taste delicious pizza. And it can be pronounced differently. If strict dictionaries believe that only the pizzeria option is correct, then most dictionaries argue with them, fixing two options - pizzeria and pizzeria.
Meatballs
Don't be surprised. The correct options are meatballs and meatballs. But, if you are faced with a choice or preparing an official speech, then meatballs, of course, are preferable. And don't forget that this word is only plural. nine0005
Cottage cheese
Both cottage cheese and cottage cheese are correct. Who is more comfortable. The choice is up to the speaker.
Chaos
Let's bring some chaos into our almost food vocabulary. Here, too, two of the two options are true - chaos and chaos. But only if it's a mess.
When we speak of ancient chaos, only chaos is correct.
Our dictionary is based on letters and questions from readers. Today, nouns are included in the dictionary, and in the next publications we will add adjectives, verbs, adverbs. nine0005
You can read more about stresses, incorrect words, the origin of different words and phrases in our "Gramotator" and "SLOGiYA".
And we are waiting for new questions. Register on the website of the network edition "Teacher's newspaper", ask, share your opinion, communicate.

Teaching children to read and write

Learning to read and write
Talking, singing, playing with sounds and words, reading, writing and drawing with a child are all great ways to build a good foundation for literacy.
The good news is that ordinary daily activities at home or, if possible, in a store or library, create a lot of interesting opportunities for developing literacy.
and it doesn't take long for your child to learn to read and write - just 5 minutes is enough several times a day. The key is to do it at different times and use different opportunities to help your child learn. It can be the simplest activity, such as making a shopping list, playing rhymes, or reading fairy tales before bed.
It is never too early to involve a child in activities during which he/she will learn to read and write - even babies love to listen to stories and engage in conversation.
The following are activities for children of all ages. If you have several young children of different ages, you can combine or change activities according to their interests and skills. nine0005
Infants, toddlers and preschoolers: learning to read and write
Communication and singing
Communication and singing with young children helps them develop listening and speaking skills. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Rhyme whenever you can. Use phrases such as “a little gray top will come and bite on the side”, or compose meaningless poems about what you are doing, for example, “I will cook such beauty for the cat.” nine0826
- Sing traditional nursery rhymes to your child. They will teach your child to understand what language, rhyme, repetition and rhythm are. Think back to what you heard as a child, in the language of most people who speak your country, or in your own language.
- In the case of babies: repeat the sounds your baby makes, or make up sounds and see if he/she can repeat them.
For example: "Cows say "moo-oo-oo." Can you say “mu-u-u-u”? - When you eat, talk about the food you cook, what you do with it, how it tastes and looks. nine0826
- Talk about what is happening outside, how the leaves rustle, birds sing, or cars make noise. Ask the child if he/she can repeat the sounds that wind, rain, water, planes, trains and cars make.
- Play "I am a Spy" to guess colors. This can be a lot of fun, especially for preschoolers! For example: “I am a spy, I look secretly and see something green. What green can I look at?
Reading and studying with books
Even in toddlers, reading aloud develops vocabulary, listening and understanding skills, and forms the basis for further development of the ability to connect sound and words. Your child may enjoy the following activities:
- Read books that have rhyme, rhythm, and repetition.
- Turn the pages and talk about what he/she sees (for preschool children).
When reading, sometimes slide your finger from left to right across the page as you read to guide your child's eyes and point to certain words or phrases - but make sure the child is interested. nine0826 - Flip through pop-up books with opening windows or books with textures embedded in illustrations to help meet your little one's need to touch and explore. You can even make your own book with items your child loves to look at and touch.
- Read stories interactively. Ask, for example: “What do you think will happen next?” or “Remember when we were on the bus?”
- Correlate what is told in books with real life. For example, if you read a book about games under a tree, you can take your child to the yard, seat him under a tree, show leaves, branches and play like in a book. nine0826
- Act out the story you are reading. For example, ask him/her to jump like a kangaroo from a book.
Drawing and writing classes
Scribble writing and drawing help young children develop the skills they will need later to develop pencil and pen skills.
Here are some activities that may be of interest to toddlers and preschoolers:
- Encourage your child to draw and write with pens, pencils, crayons, and markers. The kid will probably be happy to add his own words or a bright multi-colored drawing to greeting cards or letters. nine0826
- Invite your child to try writing some letters or their own name on all the artwork he/she creates. You can write the letters in one color and ask your child to circle them in a different color.
- Help your child make letters of the alphabet or numbers from plasticine.
- Let your child use the letters of the alphabet in a variety of forms - on bricks, puzzle pieces, and as magnetic letters that can be attached to a fridge or board.
- Cut out or draw the main household items - chair, table, TV, wall, door, etc., then write the names of these items on separate pieces of paper. Ask your child to match the name of the object with its picture. nine0826
- Invite your child to tell you about their drawings and help write down the words he/she uses to describe them.
Preschoolers: Reading and Writing Extra Activities
In addition to the above, as school gets closer and your child shows interest, you can also try the following activities:
Speaking
- Play with words - this will encourage your child to learn sounds. For example: “I will think of a word that starts with “M”. What do you think I'm looking at that starts with that letter?" nine0826
- Ask your child to name words that rhyme (sound similar). For example, "What words sound like 'car'?"
- Ask your child to choose a sound or combination of sounds, and then think of words with that sound. For example, "What's with that funny 'moo' sound"? What starts with "mu"? You can mumble “mu-u-u”, purr, litter…”.
- Talk about the past. Ask your child to talk about what he/she enjoyed doing at preschool this week. Sometimes you can write down what the child says. nine0826
- Talk about the future. Tell your child what you are going to do tomorrow or at the weekend, or ask him/her to tell him/her what he/she needs to do before bed.
Reading and activities using books
- Read and talk about fairy tales. Ask the child: "What was the story about?" or “Did you like this character? Why?"
- Older children love alphabet books - ask your child to name words that begin with the same sound as the letter you are pointing to. nine0826
- Have your child make a story book with their own pictures. With your help, he/she can do this on the computer or with pencils and paper. If he/she is interested, help write at least a few letters of the story.
- Ask your child to pick or name letters or words on billboards, shop signs, road signs, or supermarket items while you are walking. The same can be done at home with catalogs and advertising magazines. nine0825 Sign up to the library with your child, offer him/her to take books home. Many libraries also host meetings and events for young readers.
Drawing and writing activities
- Encourage your child to write their name and the names of other family members on greeting cards or photographs.
