Breaking Words into Start and End

A short word can be split into two parts: the first sound and the rest. Cat splits into /c/ and -at.

Sun splits into /s/ and -un. Your grown-up says a word, and you say it in two parts like a robot: m... op.

Then try map: m... ap. The end part is the rhyming part, so it helps with rhymes too!
