Very helpful for student in second grade and higher.
When the teacher gives an assignment to write a poem, we sometimes find ourselves out of rhymes and we consult this book. I think it covers most of the rhyming words.
Also, i like the fonts and the drawings used in this book.
Essential for classrooms and at home.

Words are grouping phonetically. My students in third grade would use a lot especially when they were writing poetry.
