Splitting Syllables

Syllable Shamrocks
Language Provide the students with paper shamrocks and a list of spelling or vocabulary words. Ask them to separate each word into syllables by writing a syllable in each section of the shamrock and the whole word on the stem. (They won't always use all the petals).

Learning About Syllables
Students will have a worksheet where they will write down how many syllables each word has.

Teaching Syllable Segmentation
Children participate in a series of activities that help them realize that words are made up of syllables.

Decoding Unknown Words using the Syllabary/Analogy Method
Students will divide polysyllabic words into syllables, apply rules to the letters in each syllable and blend syllables together for word pronunciation.

Using Word Syllables to Create Rhythmic Sentences
