Let’s solve the rhyming words section from the worksheet.
We are given underlined words and sets of words. We need to circle (or identify) which word in each set rhymes with the underlined word.

1. Underlined word: cat
Words: rat, bad, sat, mat
- “cat” rhymes with words that end with the same sound: /æt/
- rat → yes (rhymes)
- bad → no (ends with /æd/)
- sat → yes (rhymes)
- mat → yes (rhymes)
✔ So, rhyming words for “cat”:
rat, sat, mat

2. Underlined word: duck

- “duck” ends with /k/
- pick → /ɪk/ → no
- truck → /ʌk/ → yes

Now, let’s check the picture matching part:
“Draw a line to match the rhyming pictures.”
Pictures shown:
- Fan
- Log
- Hat
- Bat
- Pan
- Dog
We need to pair them by rhyme:
- Fan ↔ Pan → both end with /æn/
- Log ↔ Dog → both end with /ɒɡ/ or /ɑːɡ/ depending on dialect — but they rhyme!
- Hat ↔ Bat → both end with /æt/
So pairs:
→ Fan – Pan
→ Log – Dog
→ Hat – Bat

Final Answer:
Rhyming Words Section:
- cat → rat, sat, mat
- duck → truck, luck, puck
- bee → see, three, tree
- pig → wig, dig, rig
- light → bright, sight, night
Picture Matching:
- Fan matches with Pan
- Log matches with Dog
