Teaching Syllables
What it is
A syllable is a word part with one vowel sound. Splitting a long word into syllables lets a child read it in pieces: nap-kin, rab-bit, sun-set. In Grade 3 the words are longer: the child counts the vowel sounds to sort words of two, three and four syllables, such as animal, remember and education, and meets the accent.
When a child is ready
Teach syllables when the child reads one-syllable words with blends and digraphs and starts meeting longer words.
If they struggle
Clap the word first to count the parts. Then find the vowels and split between the consonants that sit between them. Reading each piece and then the whole word is the habit to build.
