Which term indicates sharing identical or similar phonemes in the final syllable of words?

Segmentation
Rhyme
Rime
Phonomic awareness

The correct answer is: Rhyme

The term that indicates sharing identical or similar phonemes in the final syllable of words is "rhyme." Rhyme occurs when the ending sounds of words are similar or the same, typically involving the vowel sound and any consonant sounds that follow it. For example, in the words "cat" and "hat," both share the same ending sounds, creating a rhyme. Understanding this concept is crucial in phonological awareness, as it helps students recognize and generate rhyming words, which is an important skill in developing reading proficiency. This familiarity with sound patterns aids in both decoding and encoding written language, enhancing overall literacy skills.
