SYLLABLES

SYLLABLES

We are learning to identify, isolate and even delete syllables to help us sound out words when we are writing. It will also help us with our reading.

Every word has at least one syllable. Every syllable has one vowel sound. Isabelle, Abigail and Sione are doing a great job of working together to sort the words into the number of syllables they have.

This word must have three syllables. I can see three playing cards. One for each syllable.

This word must have four syllables. I can see four playing cards. One for each syllable.

Sione is drumming the number of beats (syllables) his word has. Isabelle is clapping the beats. Abigail is about to put down a playing card for each beat (syllable) in the word.
