What are Onset and Rime? Onset and rime are terms that technically describe the phonological units of a spoken syllable. Syllables are normally split up into two parts, the onset and the rime. Onset - the initial phonological unit of any word which contains the initial consonant or consonant blend. However, not all words have onsets.
Recognizing and producing onset-rime are essential skills on the path to learning to read and spell. As students learn about these common chunks within words, they lay the foundation for later phonemic awareness skills.
The onset is the initial phonological unit of any single-syllable word, often represented as a consonant (e.g. “c” in cat). The rime refers to the string of letters that follow, usually a vowel and final consonant (e.g. “at” in cat).
Onset - the initial phonological unit of any word which contains the initial consonant or consonant blend. However, not all words have onsets. Rime - the string of letters that follow the onset, which contains the vowel and any final consonants.
Onset is the initial consonant, consonant blend, or consonant digraph, in a syllable or word. Not all words have onsets (at, in, oar). The rime is the first vowel sound and any other letters that follow it in a syllable. For example, in the word jog, the onset is /j/ and the rime is /ŏg/.
