Phonemic awareness is a group of skills – that include counting the number of syllables in a word.
It’s the ability to hear, notice, and think about the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words and syllables.
This syllable file is packed with lots of ideas to help your students learn to count syllables while having fun.
What’s included:
1. Clip-it cards – There are 3 different styles to use. Kids holding numbers, number words, and the number of claps in the word. Use clothes pin to put on the correct number or have your students place a small manipulative on the correct number of syllables.
