Onsets and RimesBY MIRANDA DOUGLASS

Onsets and Rimes

Onsets and Rimes is a fancy term that basically means you can manipulate the

first letter in a word and change the word by just changing the first letter. Not every letter you use will make a

correct word, so you have to be careful!

The beginning letters in a word can change to make new words.

The word bake can make multiple other words when we change the beginning letter. For example..

Bake

Cake

Wake

Take

Make

We can make all kinds of different words when we manipulate the beginning consonant.

Now it’s your turn!

Your word is wave. Choose the correct letter that makes a new word!

Adding C to ave makes the word cave!

That’s right! In the last slide, all the beginning letters used to make a new

word worked! This just shows the multiple new words you can make when you

change the onset and keep the rime. Great work!!
