Help with this lesson

Identify Syllables by thinking about whether you need to change the shape of your mouth, to say the next part of the word.

Example, touch your chin as you say the word 'elephant' and count the number of times your chin drops. You probably pronounced the syllables like this: 'e-le-phant'. Did your chin drop down three times?  If you clapped it out, would you clap three times?

Why does this lesson help you?

It's much easier to read a new and unfamiliar word in chunks than to try to sound out all the letters in one long, continuous string. This is because we need to hold onto the sounds in short term memory as we blend the word together. Chunks are easier to hold on to than lots of small bits of information. It's easier and more accurate to spell a long word, if you try to spell it in chunks of Syllables, instead of trying to remember all the letters separately. This useful display poster contains four strategies that you can use to maximise your grades in spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPaG). The first strategy is, yes, you guessed it!  Break the word down into Syllables.

TIP: Your skill in identifying and dividing syllables in words will help you decode words faster in reading tasks because you will be breaking sounds into chunks rather than sounding individual letters. This will make your reading smoother. The attention needed when you break the word down into smaller parts will help you spell more accurately in writing tasks and later in written exams.

Last lesson

During our last lesson, we spoke for the first time about Syllable Divisional Rules. The poster below is a reminder for you about that lesson.

New lesson goal

I can count the number of sounds in a selection of English words and I can write at least two division rules, used to create those Syllables.

Padlet and additional information

Did you know that more than 80% of words in English have more than one syllable?

An overview of the different types of syllables that you might encounter is below. Print it off or download it to your desktop for reference. Please click to enlarge the document, before you print it. 

The Padlet offers several enjoyable videos on Syllables.

1 star challenge for you

1. Selelct one word from the list below.

2. Write it down.

3. Sound the word out.  

4. Does it sound correct to you?  If not check it in GoogleTranslate.

5. Speak the word into GT and see if it can find the word that you sounded out!

Suffix                                 slowly  /  beautifully

Prefix                                 unhealthy  /   untidy

Compound word             snowball   /  grandmother

Words ending with ie          movie   /  brownie      

 

TIP: If this one star challenge is difficult for you.

Remember the vowels: a, e i, o, u and sometimes y. Counting the vowel sounds helps you to count the syllables. The shorter words are the easiest, one vowel, one syllable. However in longer words such as the word 'beautiful' the (eau make 1 sound) total number of syllables here, is 3.

2 star challenge for you

1. Choose and write down, ten: 1, 2 or 3 Syllable words from your course book on the Google Form, below.

2. Show the dividing lines.  

3. Write next to at least two words you wrote, the division rule that you think fits the best!

Next Lesson - Phonemes

Here's a sneak peek!  

Syllables differ from Phonemes, which are the smallest possible unit of sound.

3 star challenge for you

TIP: For those students who found the one and two star challenges easy, try this three star Phoneme substitution challenge!

1. Use the Phoneme chart to select 5 sounds of your choice.  2. Write the sounds on the sheet attached.  3. Think of two words for each phoneme and write them down.

Hope you enjoyed this lesson on Syllables!

 

There was a difference in the degree of instruction and guidance you thought you needed, to reach this whole class learning goal.

Eventhough I offered lots of supportive information, I encouraged you to focus on the pages you felt you needed.

I hope the information offered on Syllables helped to meet your learning needs in this important area.

Goodbye from, Miss Caroline.
