Question

A teacher groups the following words on a word wall: mind, kind, find, bind, rind. What do the words have in common? Check all that apply.

a. Same ending sound
b. Same initial sound
c. Same rime
d. Same onset

Answer 1

The words mind, kind, find, bind, and rind have the same onset and the same rime.

Step-by-step explanation:

The words mind, kind, find, bind, and rind have two things in common: the same onset and the same rime. The onset is the initial consonant or consonant cluster of a word, and in this case, all the words start with the letter 'm', 'k', 'f', 'b', or 'r'. The rime is the part of a syllable that starts with the vowel of a word and includes any consonant sounds that follow it. In this case, all the words end with the same sound 'ind'.
