Syllable Shenanigans
October 11, 2016
Today we started learning all about syllables. It is an important topic when teaching what sounds "y" can make.
I teach them to put their hand under their chin and every time their chin moves down when they are saying a word = ones syllable. So in butterfly their chin/hand moves down 3 times when saying that word which means butterfly has 3 syllables.
We then practiced this strategy for counting syllables by doing a whole group syllable sort. I showed them many pictures and then as a class they should me with their fingers how many syllables was in the word.
Tomorrow is game day - we are going to start practicing the syllables by playing different games and hands-on activities! First, each child will complete the syllable zoo activity. After they finish that activity, they will race each other.
