  2. Overview • Perfect rhyme • Approximate rhyme • Eye rhyme • Identical rhyme • Rich rhyme • Consonant rhyme • Assonant rhyme

  3. Perfect Rhyme • Also known as “full rhyme” & “true rhyme” • Perfect rhymes are between words that sound exactly the same except for the first letter. • E.g. “Boat,” “moat,” & “goat” Or “Generate” and “venerate”

  4. Approximate Rhyme • A.K.A. slant, imperfect, off, half, near, oblique • These are words that sound very similar, but not quite the same. • E.g. Slant, lance Rind, pint Tire, prayer • These should be avoided if possible, but are acceptable if used sparingly.

  5. Eye Rhyme • This refers to words that look like they should rhyme, but are pronounced differently. • E.g. good, food move, love, dove

  6. Identical Rhyme • This is when a word is used to rhyme with itself. • E.g. lazy, lazy • If you ask me, this isn’t really a rhyme at all, unless the word has two or more meanings: “I looked at the data, what does it mean? Half the class scored below the meanThey did so poorly I treated them mean”

  7. Rich Rhyme • A word that rhymes with its homonym • Words are homonyms if they sound the same but are spelled differently • E.g. Flu, flew Guessed, guest

  8. Consonant Rhyme • This is when the consonant sounds are the same but the vowel sounds are different. • E.g. Limp, lump group, grope

  9. Assonant Rhyme • The reverse of consonant rhyme. This is when the vowel sounds match but the consonant sounds don’t. • E.g. Dip, trim • I want you to avoid assonant and consonant rhyme, but I’m teaching you the word so you know what to avoid.
