In Kindergarten, it is important to build your student's phonological and phonemic awareness, as it is a key factor in students becoming successful readers and writers. What is the progression of syllables skills you should teach?
When teaching syllables, I often refer to them as “chunks” in a word. Now, you are teaching Kindergarten, and using terms like monosyllabic and multisyllabic may be hard for a student to understand, let alone say correctly. Other words are multi-syllabic, meaning they have 2 or more syllables, such as “rainbow”, “jellyfish”, or “elevator”. Some words are monosyllabic, meaning they only have one syllable, such as “pig” “catch”, or “time”. Syllables are formed by adding vowels and consonants together. They are not to be confused with phonemes, which are the smallest unit of sound. What are syllables?Ī syllable is a single, unbroken sound of a word found in the English language. Here's how to teach syllables in Kindergarten effectively. However, there is so much more that goes into teaching syllables than just counting the number of syllables. Usually, a syllable activity just involves counting how many syllables are in the word. Draw a picture.Most Kindergarten teachers will teach or practice syllables with their students at some point in the year. ►Write the steps to make a snowman (graphic organizer) ►Brainstorm ~ What do you think of, when you think of winter? ►Is it a noun or a verb?
