Syllable Cards
Syllable awareness is an essential phonological processing skill that helps students understand that words are composed of individual sounds. Before focusing on individual phonemes, students should first learn to identify and manipulate syllables. Start with compound words, as they are the easiest to segment and blend, and then gradually progress to longer words.
About This Packet
This packet includes 40 cards designed to teach blending, segmenting, and counting syllables. The cards are divided as follows:
· Compound words: 12
· One-syllable words: 4
· Two-syllable words: 12
· Three-syllable words: 6
· Four-syllable words: 6
Suggested Activities
1. Counting Syllables
Encourage students to count the syllables in each word. Use materials such as bingo markers, Play-Doh, or small toys to represent each syllable as they say it aloud.
2. Segmenting Syllables
Practice breaking words into syllables. Ensure students articulate the sounds of each syllable clearly and accurately.
3. Blending Syllables
Play a "secret word" game to practice blending syllables:
· Present 2-4 cards and say each syllable of a target word separately. Ask the student to blend the syllables together to "guess" the word.
· Extension Activity: Hide the target card and challenge the student to blend the syllables without visual support.
