Additional information
Rime consists of what some might call the “word family.” For example, the word “cat” can be divided into “c” for onset and “at” for rime. From the “at” rime, a student can make many other words by placing a new consonant or set of consonant blends as the onset, such as mat, bat, flat, and so on.
Words with the same rime will rhyme. The difference between rime and rhyme is that spelling is necessarily the same with rime, but not with rhyme. For example, mean and green rhyme, but do not share the same rime.
