What children learn in Level 16

Poems often rhyme. Listen: The fat little cat has a tall black hat. Cat and hat rhyme!
To make a rhyme, keep the end of the word and change the start. Cat: bat, hat, mat, sat!
You can even make silly rhymes: cat, zat, lat! They aren't real words, but they rhyme.
Try it with a grown-up! Say a word, and take turns adding rhymes. How many can you make?
