Pronunciation & Spelling
All six words end with the /iːm/ sound, matching the final syllable of daydream /ˈdeɪˌdrim/. Dream, cream, stream and gleam also share the spelling pattern 'eam' with daydream. Seem and theme have the same sound but different spellings ('ee' and 'eme'). Beware lookalikes with 'ea' such as bread /brɛd/, head /hɛd/, and great /ɡreɪt/: they are not rhymes.
