Not Your Average Onset and Rime Worksheet Pack

Print out this set of 15 worksheets and create an onset and rime booklet for your students to explore the different word families that can be made with onset and rime elements. This worksheet pack draws on a fun and engaging sentence to start with and then asks students to brainstorm different words that have the same rime as what is mentioned in the sentence. Here are just some of the fun and engaging sentences included on these onset and rime worksheets:

  • Find a treasure on the map. Can you make words with ap?
  • Bubbles fizz from the can. Can you make words with an?
  • ‘Meow’ said the black cat. Can you make words with at?

On each worksheet there are a number or circles where students then brainstorm different words that end in the same rime.
