Sim/ple Syllables

This week we have reviewed how to determine how many syllables are in a word. Breaking up words into syllables allows a child to hear the different vowel sounds. A syllable is the beat of a word. Usually, every vowel SOUND will have its own syllable.

One trick to figuring out how many syllables a word has is to put you hand on the bottom of your jaw and say the word. Then, simply count how many times your jaw dropped in the word and that is how many syllables the word has! Or, you can clap out each part!

Example:
pack/ing bun/ny sci/en/tist com/pu/ter

Let's see what you got! Play some games below. :)
