• Syllable-level activities are slightly more difficult than compound words activities. These oral activities are the building blocks for study in sounds and letters. These activities will help your child to manipulate syllables in words and develop an understanding of word structure.
• Have your child place the objects for the syllables in each word. Be sure your child places them left to right. Start with two-syllable words and gradually increase to 3 or 4 syllable words.
• Using coins, beans, or small objects, say each word one syllable at a time as you place an object in front of you for each syllable. Then point to one object and ask, “What’s this syllable?” Point to another object and ask the same question.
• Count on fingers the number of syllables in the names of people in your family and friends. Count the syllables in a particular category like clothing, transportation, furniture, toys, foods, insects, or sports.
• When driving, say words in syllables and have your child blend them together to say a word. Or have your child say a word in syllables and you say the complete word.
