A ladybug sits on a rug under the sentence "A bug sat on a rug.", and the words bug and rug drop down into cards where each is said slowly, so their shared ending "ug" lights up and the two words get ticks for rhyming. A mug joins them because it also ends with "ug", a hat gets a cross because it ends with "at", and the sentence is read again with its rhyming endings lit before the recap: rhyming words have the same sound at the end.
