Rhythm and Rhyme Rhyme and Slant Rhyme Standard rhymes share the last TWO syllables of the word. Words that share only ONE syllable in a word are called “slant rhyme.” Examples RHYME Presumptuous, Voluptuous Endanger, Engager Efficient, proficient Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; SLANT RHYME Park, start Deep, creek Wake, great Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all. Pronunciation English spelling is CRAZY, especially with vowels! Often words that are spelled the same are pronounced very differently: Read (present tense sounds like: reed) Read (past tense sounds like: red) Trough (troff) vs. though (th-oh) Vowel Pronunciation Game Each student receives a card (or cards). Practice pronouncing the vowels and try to match words with the same vowel sounds (don’t let the spelling fool you!). Make 14 groups of vowel sounds with other students. 5 cards in each group. Color Vowel Chart Rhythm English is a stress-timed language. Native speakers place stress on important words that have the most meaning. Rhythm Example (3 beats) Kids play ball. The kids play ball. The kids are playing ball. The kids are playing with the ball. The kids have been playing with the ball.
