Breaking words into syllables – or chunks – is an important component of Phonological Awareness. Having a strong foundation in syllables is an important beginning step in learning to read and write. This skill will help children decode words and read more fluently.
I designed these clip cards so children can independently practice counting syllables. It also allows me to informally assess their skills! I like using the clothespins with this activity to encourage fine motor development, however, you can use any game marker you have to cover the numbers!
