Syllables
Syllables
are simply word parts.
We can identify
how many syllables are in a word
by clapping
it while saying it. For example:
There are
4 syllables in Kindergarten.
We would
clap four times for each syllable
"Kin - der
- gar - ten"
Counting syllables
can be a fun game to play anywhere. Clap the names of your family members,
or items you see in your home or things you see
while driving
down the road.
