Help your child learn to hear and count the different sound parts in words with this fun, hands-on syllable activity.
Understanding syllables is an important phonological awareness skill. Before children can confidently read and spell words, they need to hear how words can be broken into smaller parts. Practicing this skill builds important foundations for reading, spelling and writing in Kindergarten.
This resource includes a simple demonstration video, so you can confidently introduce and complete the activity with your child at home.
