[|Try this Podcast.] = = = = =Onset and Rime= "Rimes are spelling patterns or 'chunks' such as //-ate, -ile, and -ake.// One-syllable words can be divided into onsets and rimes; the onset is the letter or letters before a vowel, while the rime is the vowel(s) and letter following it. For example, in the word **//plate//**, **//pl//** is the onset, and **//ate//** is the rime. Teaching onsets and rimes is a better approach to phonics than teaching individual letter sounds because onsets and rimes are much more consistent than single letters." =37 Commonly Used Rimes:=
