Introduction

Begin the lesson by explaining to students that rhyming words are words that have the same ending sound. Provide examples such as "cat" and "bat" or "sun" and "fun." Use visual aids and say the words aloud, emphasizing the ending sounds.

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling

Explain that rhyming words share the same ending sound but can have different beginning sounds. Show the picture of the word "hat" and ask students to listen carefully to the ending sound. Then, show the pictures of "mat," "car," and "dog," and ask which word rhymes with "hat." Emphasize the matching ending sound in "hat" and "mat."
