How do you teach minimal pairs?

Then, dictate four of the words, but tell the students they only need to write the number, not the word. For example, if you say "cut, but, ankle, fun" the students should write "1,1,2,1".
Do minimal pairs always rhyme?
The consonant sound after the vowel is the same for each word. When two words or phrases differ by only one sound, they are minimal pairs. Minimal pairs are the most complete types of rhymes. But words that are NOT minimal pairs can still rhyme as long as the emphasis is on the shared vowel sound.
